Wimmera birding

[Steve <>]

G'day all

Rob Drummond and I spent a few hours in Victoria's southern Wimmera 
yesterday - mostly around the township of Douglas, trying to find our 
way into the Jilpanger Flora and Fauna Reserve.
Highlights:

5, 4 and 7 Red-tailed Black Cockatoos in three locations near Douglas 
and in Jilpanger.
Several Diamond Firetails

Several thousand Banded stilts with a few hundred Red-necked Avocets on 
White Lake (south of Douglas).
A couple of groups of Variegated Fairy-wrens with several stunning 
males.
This is a great area that is probably little visited by birders.  It 
represents a transition zone between the Little Desert and the 
south-western Victorian woodlands.
Cheers
