Hi birders
Geographical context: I live in the inner eastern suburb of
Alphington in Melbourne, Victoria - in between the Yarra River, Darebin
Creek and the vast asphalt expanse known as Northcote - not far from
Darebin Parklands, Clifton Hill where Neville Pamment often reports,
Ivanhoe (including Wilson Reserve) and Anthea Fleming, Kew etc. from
Bill Stent, and the general surrounds by Tim Dolby. So far about 70
species from the area about 1km radius around home (since mid January).
8/5/2005
A flock of 45-50 Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos flying upstream along
the Yarra River, seen from Alphington Wetlands. A few more than the
2-5 I generally see around home.
29/4/2005
At least two Swift Parrots flying north from Alphington Railway Station
towards Pitcher Park, Fairfield.
... and I'm still enormously amused by the presence of Brown Thornbills
in the largely 'undergrowth free zone' of my yard and the neighbours'
...
