Sunday (Aug 29 2010), I had the pleasure of a quick trip with a friend to a block of remnant Allocasuarina leumanii & Box woodland, with chenopod, grassland, lichen understorey. This is part of her grandparents (family) property which she has bought for conservation purposes.
We saw at least 20 Blue Bonnets together with similar numbers of Red Rumps. They were feeding on the ground and casually flying to trees as wee looked about. There is a stunning WT Eagle nest in one of the Allocasuarinas. Not enough food about (we saw no rabbits) for them to be using the nest this season. Locals say the birds use the nest periodically. Other birds include Crested Pigeons, Noisy Miners, Thornbills, S Whiteface, BB Magpie
