The Weather was WET, with moderate to heavy rain all morning.

However the ground birds were still feeding and we observed Logrunners, Basian Thrushes, Large- billed, White Browed and Yellow-throated Scrubwrens. A Tree creeper was heard calling and a Brown Cuckoo Dove flew over. Feeding in crevices in the canopy were Paradise Riflebirds, and the flashes of yellow were Eastern Yellow robins and Golden Whistlers.

.

At lunchtime our table visitors were 12 female Regent Bowerbirds, a pair of Satin Bowerbirds, and a Spinebill which did a quick flypast.

.

The weather cleared for a sunny afternoon and a trip down to O’Reily’s winery, where, along the river, we observed Spangled Drongos, Black faced Monarch, white-throated Honeyeaters, and an Australian Magpie lark sitting on her nest. There were Figbirds, Dollarbirds, and a splendid view of a Sacred Kingfisher followed by a stunning Azure Kingfisher flying the length of the river to complete our day.

All bird lists for the day are sent to participants
