Just took the dog down to the Yarra/Merri confluence at
Abbotsford hoping to hear one of the Olive-backed Orioles reported by
Greg Oakley and Tim Dolby for the lower Yarra. No luck, but I did hear my
first Sacred Kingfisher of the season - not particularly early, as I have
previously recorded them as early as 10th October.
Have never managed to hear Orioles in the Clifton
Hill/Abbotsford part of Merri Creek, though can't see why they wouldn't turn up. My bird list for this part of the creek still stands at
96 sp.
Noisiest and best singer around here at the moment - Grey
Shrike-thrush, heard from bed every morning, with at least four calling in the
immediate vicinity for the last several weeks.
Regards to all
Neville
