Date: Monday, November 5, 2012
Location: On our property at Critchley Road, Rockleigh
Rainbow Bee-eater (Merops ornatus) (2)
Spotted Pardalote (Pardalotus punctatus) (1)
It was our first weekend back at Rockleigh after 3 months overseas, and nice to
see the bee-eaters are back. As we have only ever seen 2, could it be the same
pair returning each year?
The spotted pardalote was species 67, identified from its low-flying silhouette
and its call, after comparing the call with that on our smart phone app.
The swallows that roosted under our veranda for almost 4 years have gone, and
obviously have not been around for quite a while judging by the lack of fresh
droppings.
