After a quick morning tea it was back into more hikes, this time along the

and along the firebreak, this time ticking off -

By far the sighting of the day was a single Noisy Pitta!
Surprisingly found next to a small stream just outside the resorts reception
desk and main entrance. Sadly later in the day he flew into a window and
had to be rescued by the rangers who nursed the little guy back to health,
he was released the next day.
Thanks
