Gluepot Weekend

Couple of days at Gluepot and hot againsad Looking forward to going when it's cool.

So that's my excuse for spending some time at the watering hides smiley altough did do some long walks for average results. Very dry there and consequently bird numbers seemed to be down though a bad weekend at Gluepot is maybe a good weekend elsewhere. Highlights were a Brown Goshawk coming in for a bath and my first Striped Honeyeater plus a Weebill Treecreeper.

Lots of Brown Headed,Yellow Plumed honeyeaters plus a bonus couple of White Fronted and White-Eared. May have seen my first Hooded Robin as well but needs to be confirmed. All in all a good weekend.

Great shots Rick.

To me they are all best shots as they would all be firsts for me.

Have to visit this Gluepot reserve someday.

I'm guessing spring is the best time.

I agree all great shots. The tree in the second photograph looks like a prickly place to choose to perch.

Thanks all.

Reflex, Devster, get yourself down to Adelaide sometime, happy to introduce you to Gluepot.

Prickly, dense habitat seems to be Chestnut Rumped Thornbills favourite perch, much to my chagrin at timessmiley
