Hi all,
I've been out birding with clients nearly every day since the
Twitchathon (life's tough isn't it!) and returned home to a mailbox
full of sponsorship cheques. Wonderful!
Anyway, just wanted to report a female Freckled Duck at Lake Wallace
(Wallerawang, near Lithgow, NSW) on Friday 4/11/05. Seen from the car
from less than 10 metres this is the closest look I've ever had of
one of these lovely birds.
Also, 3 Blue-billed Ducks still present at Lithgow sewage works on
the same day, as well as the usual Shovelers and Pink-ears.
Regent Honeyeaters still present at Coco Creek in the Capertee Valley
and Painted Honeyeater still on my land. Young cuckoos are around
with a very young Horsfield's (looking very much like a Black-eared)
being fed by Superb Fairy-wrens and a juvenile Pallid also in the
Capertee Valley.
Brown Songlarks are displaying at the Hawkesbury turf farms and in
the Capertee.
At least 2 White-throated Needletails high over Evans Lookout in the
Blue Mountains at around 6pm on 2/11/05.
Cheers
Carol
