Hi all, just back from a few days in the Lake Cargelligo area. Highlights were two Red-lored Whistlers singing in the NW section of the wheat field on the mornings of the 21st and 22nd but unfortunatly were not seen. Also on the 21st, 4 Painted Snipe were seen along the Condobolin road in a small muddy pool just past the road to the sewerage treatment plant. Also in this pool were 40+ Baillon’s Crakes and 30+ Spotted Crakes. Other birds of note inlclude Black Honeyeater, White-fronted Honeyeater, Crimson Chat, Black-tailed Native, Spotted Nightjar, 200+ White-browed and Masked Woodswallows in roughly equal numbers, Chestnut Quail-thrush, Southern Scrub-robin, Shy Heathwren, Gilbert’s Whistler and 4 Barn Owl’s on the road to Lake Cargelligo from west Wyalong. Cheers, Rob Sydney, NSW ===============================
