McEwan State Forest
We went hiking in McEwan S/F to the creek at the back and found two Wedge-tailed Eagle nests (one very large) in the same tree overlooking the valley. There were lots of Welcome Swallows flying up and down the creek and four Ground Cuckoo-shrikes. New bird for my McEwan S/F list. Yesterday 22/9/2013...

It flew very high into an ironbark and t...

Rufous Songlark
Saw my first Rufous Songlark for Spring 2013 today 3rd September between Pittsworth and Felton. The lone bird let me get to within 5 metres to take some nice snaps. The bird was trilling but not singing.
