Everyone,
Its such a beautiful day here in the Hunter Valley
that I decided to take a quick walk around my local
park in Morpeth, few kms from Maitland.
Managed to record 26 species in the 20min with
highlights being the many Figbirds in a feeding
frenzy, a mixed winter flock of Silvereye, Yellow and
Yellow-rumped Thornbills, Superb Fairy-wren, Red-brows
and a female Golden Whistler, and 3 species of
raptor.....1 Whistling Kite, 2 Wedge-tailed Eagles and
2 Aust. Hobbies.
There were two downers though, first was a flock of 28
Spotted Turtle-doves feeding under the casurinas, and
a Muscovy Duck with a tiny duckling following behind.
At home yesterday I watched 70-80 Musk Lorikeet fly
over, a backyard tick!
Enjoy the weather while it lasts,
Grant Brosie
Raworth
