White-cheeked honeyeaters: 6 yes six together as a family! in dead tree sugarloaf point not far from rockpool.



Sacred Kingfishers: watched termite mound nest: both adult near nest and one adult visits nest maybe to feed young. looks like droppings on nest rim.

Firday 15 January - Sacred Kingfishers at nest

Sacred Kingfisher: saw SK at the nest twice this morning 7.00am and 9.00am - first coming out of the nest and flying off and then hanging on nest edge to lean in and presumably feed young. Also noticed nesting material near opening.

Fantail Cuckoo - near rockpool SugarLoaf Point area low in scrub just sitting silently studying the ground around from a low perch. good close look.

Lots of grey spider grevillia flowers coming out now.

Walking notes Sunday 10 January 2010

7.00am
Quiet generally - I don't think I heard any currawongs at all!!! and few lorikeets and generally the bush felt very quiet and still.
I watched quite a few pardalottes around in various parts of the walk.
Noteable were a group of five yes five channel-billed cuckoos flying around calling loudly
Watched Eastern spinebill take a bath in the rock waterhole - great to see water there again after a long dry spell.
Young dusky moorhens with parents foraging.
Dollarbird
Sacred Kingfisher calling near nest area my end.
Otherwise usual things - heard whipbd; saw silvereyes in usual place.
Did listen and watch brown thornbills calling with a different call to my usual call I hear rather like white browed scrubwren calling
