Hi All Southerners
 
I am heading south in March and will have an afternoon and a morning in Melbourne on route to Tasmania. I have never birded around Melbourne before and am hoping to catch up with a few species I haven't seen before. Also if anybody is going to Werribee on the Monday afternoon , March 15th or Tuesday morning of the 16th and wouldn't mind a hanger on please let me know.
 
The main plan will be to see Rufous Bristlebird , probably at Point Addis or Airey's Inlet as recently mentioned by Russell Woodford. The other birds on my list include three introduced species and some which may also be seen in Tasmania so not necessary to chase all over the place as I would like to see Werribee as well if possible.
 
Fairy Tern - likely in Tassie as well
Blue-winged Parrot   ditto but also while looking for RBB
Green Finch       ditto
Tree Sparrow
Song Thrush  
 
If anyone can help please e-mail me privately. I will have a hire car but being a country boy hope to avoid the big smoke traffic!
 
Thanks in advance
