Hi all
I've mentioned this one before, some time ago, but it's worth
repeating at any opportunity. Myself and two others saw Grey
Falcon, Red Goshawk and Letter-winged Kite in a single day, not
far from Darwin. 'Best' raptor day I've had since was 5 falcons -
including Grey - with James Watson, down near Victoria River, NT.
A few weeks ago I saw 6 kingfisher spp in one day in Darwin, and
the next day saw 10 heron spp (no Bitterns), missing only White-
faced, which is the least common up here.
Years ago (1986), in a matter of less than an hour, I saw 10 finch
spp at a spot called the Fish-hole in the Kimberley - Painted was
the one NT finch missed, though it was not really a candidate.
Most grasswrens I've seen in a day is one! Most wagtails, 2 (in 2
different combinations) ...
Happy birding & bragging
