Black-faced Monarch

Post by Bill Jolly »

Black-faced Monarch in Redwood Park on Friday afternoon, 19 September.

There was a roost of thousands of Grey-headed Flying Foxes in the trees just across the creek from the lower picnic area, around the bridge, and consequently very few birds in that area.

The monarch was seen along the Grass-tree Track.

Around the bridge, looked, sounded and smelled very different from normal.
