Published sightings for the week ending 5 Aug 2012.

Thu 2 Aug Flock Bronzewing Sandfire Roadhouse, Great Northern Highway, Western Australia
Saw at least 20 flocks perhaps 1,000 birds crossing the Great Northern Highway about 15km north of Sandfire Roadhouse, travelling east. They were flying low 20 to 30 meters up and landing about 1 km east of the road. Also numerous Australian Pratincoles and Red-capped Plovers on the roadside verges.

Watched this bird in mulga scrub for about 15 mins as it moved about feeding on what seemed to be caterpillars.

Sun 29 Jul Grey Currawong Honeymoon Pool picnic area, Wellington National Park, Western Australia
Around dozen birds seen congregating around the Honeymoon Pool picnic area, being fed by people having BBQ's. Still quite flighty and shy. Beautiful sounds in the forrest.
