Hi all,
Had the day off to finish an essay, which I did, so went out to Bundeena/Jibbon
Head (Royal NP, Sydney, NSW) today. Highlights were 2 seperate sightings of
Eastern Whipbirds and a Grey Shrike Thrush that nearly hit my car as I drove
in, and from the beach where there is a path going to Shelly Beach, the patch
of trees at this intersection provided: Masked Woodswallow, Spangled Drongo
(4), Silvereye (about 40), Brown Thornbill, Eastern Spinebill (10+), Red
Wattlebird, Yellow-faced Honeyeater, Lewins Honeyeater, Grey Fantail, and on
the beach, 2 Little Pied Cormorants, and about 40 Silver Gulls. Went looking
for Eastern Reef Egrets around the rocks at the headland, and (predictably)
didn't see any, and also to look at the rock engravings, which I've meant to
check before but hadn't until today. They're quite impressive and largely
un-vandalised.
If anyone has a spot for Reef Egrets in/near Sydney where they've seen them
recently, I would appreciate any info.
All in all, a pretty enjoyable way to extend my long weekend. Apart from the
essay.
Cheers
Troy
