At least 26 birds in a rocky, dusty field by the Midland Hwy opposite Kempton. Caught a glimpse of these birds while driving past on Thursday but couldn't stop so came up for a better look today.

Nankeen Night Heron

Single bird flushed from riverine vegetation. Despite fortnightly visits by me these birds seem to show themselves only in the presence of 'The Night Heron Whisperer', Hazel Britton.

Possible Forty-spotted Pardalote
University of Tasmania, Sandy Bay Campus
A work colleague, who has some interest in birds, reported seeing two Forty-spotted Pardalotes today at lunch time by the side of College Road, next to the CSIRO turn off. She passed my differentiation between immature Spotted Pardalote test. Upon investigation myself, although I didn't see or hear any, I did note that there is a small stand of E. viminalis amongst the blue gums at exactly this site.
