Hi all,
Had an interesting trip up to Bendigo (Diamond Hill, Whipstick and
Kamarooka), and Kerang over the Easter weekend. To echo Michael Ramsey¹s
posting on Chiltern, there was extensive eucalypt flowering in Whipstick NP
and Kamarooka SP with large numbers of honeyeater and woodswallow.
In one area of Kamarooka, I recorded 7spp of honeyeater, the highlight being
a single Purple-gaped Honeyeater (along with Brown-headed, White-plumed,
Yellow-tufted, Yellow-plumed, Yellow-faced and Red Wattlebird).
Chestnut-rumped Heathwren was also recorded here.
Shy Heathwren was common on Skylark road (Whipstck).
As Michael mentioned, there were also large numbers of woodswallow (Masked,
White-browed and Dusky) in many areas.
A pair of Black Falcon near Kerang topped off an excellent day,
Cheers,
Greg
