Kylie, Olive, Claire Hanney, new members Ross and Margie Easton and I wound up our Raptor Census in the western quadrant on Saturday (29/6) with three Ground Cuckoo-shrikes in Bridge St near Boundary Rd intersection, Torrington.
Four Pink-eared Duck on dam at the old Gainsborough Lodge site (now the site for new airport) were another unexpected bonus as rarely reported in any of our western grids (grid W2 in this case). Incidentally, saw another 14 Pink-eareds at Helidon Spa the next day. Unusual for there as well.
