Hi folks
Just back from a week of mental health leave at Mimosa Rocks National
Park between Bega and Bermagui on the NSW South Coast. Too busy already
to post a proper report!!! ... but from a week of bumming around at
Picnic Point (PP) campground, the highlights were as follows:
Tahiti Petrel - one seen flying along the breaker line off PP
Shearwaters - squillions offshore - mostly Short-tailed with some
Wedge-tailed, Fluttering and at least one Huttons - about 20-30
beachwashed pale morph Wedge-tails around PP headland
Brahminy Kite - one immature, somewhat south of normal range?
Superb Fruit-Dove - one in Lillypilly rainforest remnant adjacent to
Spotted Gum forest inland from PP, somewhat south of normal range?
Channel-billed Cuckoo - heard before and immediately after dawn one day,
one bird, somewhat south of normal range?
Various other ubiquitous East Coast lovelies such as Black-faced
Monarch, Satin Bowerbird, Wonga Pigeon .........
