| Spotted Crake |
This is old but I unintentionally didn't publish it...
I had sabbatical work and a conference in Melbourne so Nancy flew down for a long weekend of southern birding. One of the great sightings was of this Spotted Crake at what some call Australia's BEST birding site! But I get ahead of the tale
We first headed to the Dandenong Ranges and Bunyip National Park
We were excited to see a Long-billed Corella, even if it was in the wild bird-feeding area along with a bazillion sulphur-crested cockatoos and other tourists.
A fine Scarlet Robin - we get these (rarely) up north and can differentiate them from our Rose Robins by the black (rather than grey) wings
This fine Tawny Frogmouth was snoozing near the ranger station in the You Yangs - an odd little clump of rocky hills (with actual climbing!) between Melbourne and Geelong.
