By Birding-Aus, on October 28th, 2018% Hi Maris, I would not necessarily travel to Chiltern – especially this late in the season. You might have a more productive time circling Melbourne (counter clockwise) from Bendigo, Melton, Brisbane Ranges, You Yangs, Werribee, Torquay, Bunyip NP, Dandenongs, Healsville area. You'd end up with a wide range of habitats and species mostly within about . . . → Read More: Chiltern or not?
By Birding-Aus, on October 28th, 2018% Really appreciate all of your suggestions as to who owns the nest. I see that it could really belong to any of those but not knowing the size of the nest does not to help (thank you Phillip for your advice). Looking at photos of a Yellow-plumed Honeyeater’s nest, it appears quite similar but as . . . → Read More: Whose nest?
By Birding-Aus, on October 27th, 2018% I have a few days in Melbourne in the next couple of weeks (from Perth) and I’m wondering if it would be worthwhile spending a couple of days at Chiltern. I’m not fanatical about what I see, just like to get species we don’t get in WA. I reckon I’m a good chance for . . . → Read More: Chiltern

By Birding-Aus, on October 25th, 2018% I forgot to mention in my previous posting that not only did see no live Wedgies but also saw no Wedgie carcasses next to the roads in NSW and S/W Qld. I am sure others also noticed the frequency of Magpies, Pied Butcherbirds and Willy Wagtails feeding on the innumerable roadside macropod and emu carcasses. . . . → Read More: Wedge-tailed eagle decline
