Gooday all
We just arrived back from a few days chasing birds at Round Hill NR and Nombinnie NR targeting the Red-lored Whistler and Southern Scrub-robin. Did not get to Yathong NR, spent most of our time within several kilometres of the old wheat paddock. We dipped on the RLW but saw among lots of other great birds the Southern Scrub-robin (great views), Chestnut Quail-thrush, Shy Heathwren, White-fronted Honeyeater (many in the flowering mallee trees) and Painted Button-quail (watched them forming platelets). On the way home today (Monday) we saw many Pink-eared Ducks and had close views of Blue-billed Ducks at Gum Swamp near Forbes.
Thanks heaps to all who offered suggestions and locations to find the target birds. Definitely another trip out there soon for the RLW.
