Lower Blue Mountains Birding

["Evan Beaver" <>]

Took a quick mental health break from studying yesterday to have a look around for Glossies. I found none. But I did have a look in Glenbrook NP, out near The Oaks Picnic Area, there's a little 'dam' (it's about a foot deep, or 1/66th of  a chain) and find some good birding. I sat on a rock, just on the edge of the clearing for about half an hour, and saw:

Up to 5 Thornbills, I'll be the first to admit my Thornbill skills aren't the best
Rose Robin
some young Grey Fantails
Yellow Faced HE's
Spinebills
Superb Fairies
White Throated TreeCreepers
and a couple of Gerygones

It seems to be the only water for miles at the moment and they pretty much took turns having a drink and a little swim. I didn't note which ones, but there are a few Eucalypts flowering around there as well, so it was a real hive of activity.
It would also be a great spot to set up a small hide and take photos of an afternoon...
