Have just returned from a trip in NSW. Leaving Lightning Ridge at 6.30am and
turning onto the highway, glimpsed a flock of black birds feeding on the
ground. I nearly ignored them as from a distance assumed they were Dusky
Moorhens, but the absence of flicking tails caught my attention.
A quick U-turn, binos and field guide, and I had my first Blacktailed Native
Hens all 18 of them.
Also eight brolgas at a wet area south of St George helped with a long drive.
Notable absence in the whole two weeks were finches of any kind, I only saw
Redbrowed Firetails once.
