Sunday, 18.06.06 started out pretty cold at about -5C at BA's Gluepot
Reserve in South Australia but the birding was brilliant for the ease
and number of species seen very well. The contrast with nearby Pooginook
Conservation Park visited the day before was stark.  Feral goats
appeared to outnumber the birds at the usually good Pooginook with the
only bird of note a Stripped Honeyeater.

Some of the highlights at Gluepot:  Major Mitchell's Cockatoo,
Scarlet-chested Parrot 2x at old airstrip (+ Regent & Mulga), Red-lored
Whistler (+Gilbert's, Golden & Rufous), Black-eared Cuckoo, White-browed
Tree-creeper (+ Brown), Black-eared Miner (+ plenty of honeyeater
activity in the flowering eucalypts), Crested Bellbird, Southern
Scrub-robin, Chestnut Quail-thrush, Shy Heathwren (bouncing around in
the open on the Whistler track a few metres from us), Striated Grasswren
(sitting in the open in full sunlight), Red-capped & Hooded Robin,
Peregrine Falcon.
