G'day,
Yesterday Duncan and I managed to get our timetables together and we did the winter bird surveys at Swallow Lagoon. We've never seen the place look so fresh. Here's a brief summary...
 |
| This is typical of parts of the bush areas |
 |
| There are 3 or 4 patches of open grassy areas |
 |
| Maroonhood Orchid |
 |
| Carpets of 'nodders' |
 |
| Spotted Pardalote - a perennial favourite |
 |
| Trim Greenhood Orchid |
 |
| White-winged Choughs - there was quite a mob. |
Scarlet Robins were still around. The choughs, pardalotes and Magpies were recorded as nesting. The ubiquitous bird for the day was probably the Yellow-faced Honeyeater - a lot of the mature eucs were in flower. 'Twas indeed a lovely day in the bush and we only got slightly damp. Roll on spring!
Regards,
Gouldiae.
