Would either of you kind lads care to advise us where this Fairy Dell
is, apart from being in East Gippsland that is ?

Thanks.

Tony.

Richard

I visited Fairy Dell in on consecutive days in mid-November and saw
20-30 Topknot Pigeons on the first day, none on the second.  They were
flying from tree to tree and occasionally congregating in one tree.

I also saw Rose Robin, Brown Gerygone, Bassian Thrush, Wonga Pigeon, and
a Lyrebird.

It was my first visit and it is indeed a lovely spot with interesting
birds .

Regards

David

Diana (Bryant) and I visited Fairy Dell in East Gippsland on Sunday
morning (our first visit) - a lovely spot with interesting birds to be
found.

In keeping with the recent spate of sightings of Topknot Pigeons in
eastern Victoria we counted 20 Topknots in a tall tree above the walking
track on the way back from the Dell.

Other species of interest included Rose Robin, Brown Gerygone, Bassian
Thrush, Wonga Pigeon (with several more calling) & probable Red-browed
Treecreeper.
