the wind storm that hit Ulladulla last Sunday morning sadly destroyed the Ospreys nest on the Telecom tower.
When we checked the nest last week there was nothing in it so hopefully they may try again this spring.

First Koel for spring here, calling after dark (at ~19:00). Also a pair of Black-faced Monarchs and a Leaden Flycatcher in coastal reserve. Following initial report of Bee-eaters last week (2 Sep), birds were passing over throughout the day on the weekend, with some birds also hanging around in the reserve. Orioles have started calling again, and Little Shrike-thrush also heard singing more over last few days. Red-whiskered Bulbuls continue to sing strongly at the northern end of the reserve.[…]

Hi Steve, The best thing for you to do is to check the Vicroads website for road conditions. You will quickly find the link to the flood information and which roads are cut. Most of the rivers here in northern Vic flow from south to north, off the ranges and downhill/inland towards the Murray river.

Sites are always a problem when insuffient info posted. This has come up so many times on birding-aus over the years. Problem exists on many Eremaea Bird weekly reports making the information useless to all except, maybe locals. In this case it did mention Gold Coast, so there was a clue. Its up to each of us to give info so that others may

Hi All, The Dubbo Field Nats are busily preparing a booklet entitled 'Plants and Animals of the Dubbo Area' and are seeking artwork for use. We have excellent bird photos but wondered if there are any sketch/watercolour (or other medium) bird or nature artists out there that would be interested in having their art published? As a volunteer organisation our budget is the wrong side of 'minimal' and any species would need to be relevant to the Dubbo region (Central[…]

A few birds have been present continuously since May or earlier. Apparently feeding mainly on the nectar of numerous Grey Mistletoe (Amyema quandang); also on Drooping Mistletoe (A. pendula) which is far less common at this location. Both mistletoes flower for a long time and the commencement of flowering of individual plants can vary considerably. Additionally, from a month or so ago, some trees of Yellow Box and Manna Gum have been flowering. Sufficient nectar from various species of eucalypts[…]
