Hi all
I visited Warriewood Wetlands, on Sydney's northern beaches, this morning
for a walk with my family. The Swamp Mahoganies are flowering (not sure
whether they were past peak or more is to come) so I was kept busy checking
out the many small green parrots in case there were any Swifties in there -
no such luck - mostly Rainbow Lorikeets, with some Scaly Breasted and Musk
as well. Interestingly, I saw both White Browed Scrubwrens and Superb Blue
Wrens feeding on the blossom of a fairly low level mahogany - I got a good
enough look to be comfortable that they were not catching insects.
Also in the area were two small groups of Fuscous Honeyeaters - one group of
6 up in Irrawong Reserve (between the Cabbage Tree grove and the waterfall)
and a group of 3 around the back of the wetlands (on the way to the new part
of the boardwalk). Also 5 Brown Headed Honeyeaters, 2 Scarlets, several
very vocal White Cheeked and lots and lots of Yellow Faced chasing each
other around. The Eastern Whipbirds were much less active today than normal
Other good birds were a Buff Banded Rail, Fan Tailed Cuckoo, and a Brown
Goshawk. No grassbirds today.
Cheers
Tom Wilson
