On the weekend, Anakie Gorge in the Brisbane Ranges near Geelong, Victoria, was buzzing with birds despite the rather bleak weather. The highlight was a fleeting glimpse of what i think was a Spotted Quail Trush scuttling along the ground on the incline near the carpark. the bird in question was a pigeon sized and shaped bird with very distinct white eye brow. Its wing was spotted/flecked with chestnut and white. Unfortunately, i tried to get a photo of it a little quickly and lost sight of it once I put the viewfinder to my eye. Lots of honeyeaters around too. A brief list: White eared HE White naped HE Yellow Tufted HE New Holland HE White plumed HE Red Wattlebird Yellow Robin Golden Whistler White Winged Chough White throated treecreeper. Superb Fairy Wren White browed Scrubwren Crimson Rosella Jacky Winter Yellow Rumped Thornbill Red Browed finch Along Granite rd, towards the You Yangs, about 30 zebra finch where seen in a paddock. Further along near Sandy Creek rd, about 8 Diamond Firetails were on the corner along with 2-4 Restless Flycatchers. Peter |
