Hi birders
I spent the whole day on 1/9/2002 at a travelling stock rreserve (TSR)
called Blue Metal TSR (TSR#16) in Holbrook Shire, NSW. The reserve is right
on the Hume Highway (east side) south of Holbrook (the place with the
submarine). An interesting remnant of the endangered Grassy White Box
Woodland community, and with a few of the threatened woodland birds still
hanging on. Highly recommended as a travelling stop - and not just for
sheep & cattle! Bird list below ...
Cheers, Lawrie
