An impressive 62 species were observed between the groups in only 2 hours. Great spotting to everyone!
Of note was a sighting of a White-necked Heron on the Binalong Bay road, about 1 km out of town in a paddock. Well done to Cherylyn's eagle eye for spotting this bird! Also the Freckled Duck is still present on the Stieglitz sewerage ponds.
Thanks to Den and Joy for hosting a lovely morning tea afterwards.
Best birding wishes,
