Hi all, went around Windsor and Richmond areas
today and saw a total of 105 species, here are some of the
highlights:
Mitchell Park
Good numbers of the usuals seen and heard,
including Cicadabird, Leaden Flycatchers, Azure Kingfisher on
the river, Varied Sitella, White-Throated Gerygones,
Yellow Thornbills, Olive-Backed Oriole, Variegated Fairy Wren and a
single Pacific Baza seen flying over picnic area
calling.
Pitt Town Lagoon
Didn't see too many waders this week due to less
time spent here today (reeds / weeds make it difficult even "criptic" to pick up
birds), did see 10 Whiskered Terns, Sharp-Tailed Sandpipers, 3 Marsh
Sandpipers, and Red-Kneed Dotteral. Also saw 3
Double-Barred Finches. On Pitt Town Bottoms Rd saw a female
Brown Songlark.
Turf Farms Cornwallis Rd
A few interesting birds seen around here including
3 Brown Quail, Nutmeg Mannikin, Red-Whiskered Bullbull, Rufous
Songlark and a single Banded Lapwing
McGraths Hill STW
3 Glossy Ibis, White-Winged Triller,
a single Pink-eared Duck, 4 Baillons Crakes,
and 1 Yellow-Billed Spoonbill.
Cheers
Simon.
