Although the day was a tad cool and foggy to begin with 11 members had a rather good time at Newline.
We managed to see nearly all the 'specials' of the site: Brown Treecreeper (2), Southern Whiteface (4), Jacky Winter (1), Peaceful Dove (1 heard), Speckled Warbler (3). There was no sight or sound of Crested Shrike-tit. 12 Double-barred Finches were gleaning in the concrete recycling area and an out of season Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike put in an appearance.
