The spring survey gave a good total of 52 species, although some migrants (Flycatchers, Sacred Kingfisher) were not back. Highlights were a Jacky Winter near the large dam, several sightings of Speckled Warbler and Scarlet Robin, and Little Corellas at 3 sites. Both Pallid and Horsfield's Bronze-Cuckoos were recorded, and an Australian Hobby near the entrance gate. The Reserve is looking very green, the dams have filled, and with more rain, it could be a good spring for wildflowers and native grasses. The next survey will be on either Sunday 27 November or Sunday 4 December - I will advise those on my volunteer list as soon as the date is settled.
