Birding

Hmm Birdie, is that the place, where I should be living ??? (inside joke!)

Duckie, I have just retrned from a day at the Stanley River Rd near Bellthorpe and also , Witta and Mary Cairncross. I have to say now that I have done so, if you are only seeing Bush Turkeys then can I give you some advice?
Stand very still near any patch of shrubby bush, especially tangly looking lantana patches ....or basically anythng with leaf cover!!!!!
You need to stop...... listen .... and look very carefully. The whole area is simply full of twittering little birds :').
Today I took a wrong turn and stopped on the Stanley river road to do a u turn at the Stanley Plantation I think it was called, right opposite some National Park. we got out of the car to have a quick look and didn't get back in the car for two hours!!!! During that time we only moved about 20-100m from the car .We were close to the road, so there is no need for you to go taking risks at your young age and heading off into the state forest.....( definitely not recommended unless you are with your parents or another adult anyway). I saw my first Eastern Shrike Tit, first Spinebill, plus Variegated Fairy wrens, Eastern Yellow Robins, Grey SHrike thrushes, Yellow tail Black Cockatoos, BOP unidentified, White browed scrub wrens, Eastern Whipbirds, brown treecreepers, just to name a few. Do you have a field guide to learn from?
I guarantee you that around Crystal Waters there would be a similar variety. You just have to slow down and open your eyes and ears . Hope that is of some help.
