Today, Lorne Johnson and myself
spent a few hours this morning at Laughtondale Gully (near
Wisemans Ferry) and recorded a number of interesting
species including Turquoise Parrot (one seen and others heard); Bar-shouldered
and Peaceful Doves; several Chestnut-rumped
Heath-wrens (several were heard but we only got very brief glimpses of a few); Dollarbird; Leaden Flycatcher; Yellow-tufted, White-cheeked
and Brown-headed Honeyeaters; Red-browed and Double-barred Finches and Dusky Woodwallows. We also briefly glimpsed what was probably a
Collared Sparrowhawk and possibly heard a Pheasant Coucal call briefly (both are resident species to this area).
