What a great night it was, a big crowd of nocturnal birdos, a BBQ dinner, great company, the winter chill on the face and the excitement of what may be lurking in the bush......
Unfortunately no owls were around, perhaps because it was a near full moon, who (who who who!) knows? Anyway, we will be doing this again. The highlight was the juvenile White-bellied Sea Eagle being pursued by the Wedge-tailed eagle just before sunset and the many Black-headed Honeyeaters.
Thanks once again to Annette and Nick for organising the BBQ and Des for the bird list. The attached photos are also from Annette :)
Best birding wishes,
