First three birds seen there: Blue-faced Honeyeater; Singing Honeyeater and Little Corella. Fortunately Dollarbird turned up as a reasonable gap filler, while today had a choie like yours: Pied BB vs Cockatiel. Pied BB are generally easy while driving so Cockatiel got the nod.Flabmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934077052437339591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445111183007833890.post-75302003816894326672014-01-09T17:38:54.919+11:002014-01-09T17:38:54.919+11:00Excellent - I'm impressed.

There is some prospect of a 2 week OS trip and a somewhat longer one to Queensland which should give a few easy extra birds but it will take a bit of effort to still be going in October. <br /><br />The Singing Honeyeater at Dunlop today was a help!<br /><br />MartinFlabmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934077052437339591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445111183007833890.post-34965272390109116112014-01-08T14:56:25.544+11:002014-01-08T14:56:25.544+11:00This is fun - I'm looking forward to following...This is fun - I'm looking forward to following this one. But if you're going to see 365 spp in Australia you'll be doing a lot of travelling, carbon footprint notwithstanding!
