Hi Bob,
Freckled Duck - the usual spot for them is Lake Lorne in Drysdale, to the
south-west of Melbourne. The lake has little water in it now, and is
overgrown with weed, but there are often small numbers of Freckled Ducks
there.
Cape Barren Goose - Western Treatment Plant, Werribee, near Melbourne.
Alternatively, they are often seen at Serendip Sanctuary near the You Yangs.
Painted Honeyeater - Dunach Nature Reserve, north of Clunes (north of
Ballarat). They were seen a few days ago, so they are around.
Good luck!

Hi all, I'm wrapping up an extended birding trip to Australia (interupted by
some time in New Zealand). I'll have 6 days, travelling from Melbourne to
Sydney via Deniliquin for a Plains Wanderer weekend. So I'll have about 2
days Melbourne to Deniliquin, and two and a half days Deniliquin to Sydney.
So I'd appreciate any advice on getting some targets that I have managed to
miss and that I probably won't get on the PW weeekend and that I dould
conceivably get on the way without too big a detour. They are:
Freckled Duck (I've tired a lot of places "they were there a couple weeks
ago")
Cape Barren Goose
Mallee Fowl (Only if there is some failry sure thing)
Spotless Crake
Little, Painted Buttonquail (I am unable to find buttonquails)
Glossy black Cockatoo
Gang-gang Cockatoo
Powerful owl
Chestnut-rumped Heathwren
Pilotbird (Missed at Barren Grounds, maybe not early enough)
Painted Honeyeater (Backup if missed on PW weekend)
Shriketit
Thanks in advance for any tips.
Bob French
