Hi Netters,
On a visit to Hobart 24/10 to
26/10 with some birding friends the Scrubtit, Olive Whistler and Crescent
Honeyeater were seen on the dirt walking track at The Springs car park 4km up
the Mt Wellington road. Eight Swift Parrots were seen on Bruney Island in
flowering eucalypts in the picnic area south of the penguin lookout and at the
ferry terminal. As usual Peter Murrill Reserve gave us 7 endemics plus others. At
the Hobart Airport red flowering
eucalypts had numerous Musk Lorikeets. Fern Tree had Scrubtit, Flame Robin and
Pink Robin. Pallid Cuckoos were on most electric wires calling to their hearts
content.
All the Best
