Canhams Road

It was a lovely morning at Canhams road, 3 kms NE of St Helens, with a mass of birds. Beris did some great spotting and found the 2 Tawny Frogmouths close by the road.
Next month 5th October, Moulting Bay will be our destination. Meet at the Day use area at Moulting Bay around 8.45am or at the Bayside car park for car pooling at 8.30am.

Best birding wishes,

Liz

'Whats Happening' from John

The Spotted Pardalote, first heard at the beginning of August, now has a partner. In one of those serendipitous moments, this beautiful bird landed on a branch right next to me.

On the move to a new area is this Grey Butcher Bird, advertising its presence

Also back are the Silvereyes and Swallows

cheers

John
