On way home came up through Blanchview to the Flagstone Ck Rd. At the end of Scenic Rim Drive, near the top of Flagstone Creek Rd, picked up White-naped Honeyeater. This is a new road I've never been down before and it looks quite promising. Similar habitat to Glen Lomond Park which it presumably borders.

Also saw two Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos battling the windy conditions over Rowbotham St near Picnic Point on 5/7.

Cheers
