RFI Rock Parrot and Perth-Bunbury birding

["Peter Taylor" <>]

Hi Arwen

On your way south from Perth Airport along the Tonkin Highway you might like 
to have a look at Ellis Brook Valley Reserve (turn left at Gosnells Rd East 
and follow the signs). I found Red-eared Firetail in the upper carpark and 
between there and the waterfalls there were Western Rosella, White-breasted 
Robin and Red-winged Fairywren. I was also lucky enough to briefly see a 
Square-taile Kite hunting further upslope. At the lower carpark (Honeyeater 
Hollow) were Western Wattlebird, Red-capped Parrot, Baudin's Black-Cockatoo, 
Splendid Fairywren and Mistletoebird. Aptly named, this area was teeming 
with White-cheeked, New Holland, Brown, White-naped and Singing Honeyeaters 
a couple of weeks ago.
cheers
