Hello fellow birders, I made a quick trip up to Ouyen on Thursday night hoping I might get lucky and see Malleefowl in numbers as reported on Birdline. On Friday morning I managed to see 31 on the Ouyen-Patchewalloack Rd. It was a huge buzz. If anyone would like more details just send me an email.
I then headed to Pink Lakes but dipped on finding Striated Grasswren but did get lucky with seeing my first Weebill, a bogy bird for me. I know it’s a common bird and mostly seen by everyone but me.
I then headed into Hattah which has a great vibe and dipped on Striated Grasswren there too but I did come across a Malleefowl in the bush just off Nowingi Track which was just great and it appeared not too bothered by me so I managed a prolonged and close view.
I headed home and stopped at the lookout at lake Tyrrell and got onto 3 Rufous Fieldwrens. I didn’t get long views but they were good enough.
Thanks to all for your tips, Happy birding, Patrick Scully ===============================
