Saturday 14th August, and the weekend were closer to normal, although our walk our was much later in the day than usual.
Nevertheless, we got a good range of species including the second thrush flock of the new season!
The numbers weren't generally huge, but around the trees near the east side of the Outback, the woodland birds were actually too many (and too mobile!) to count... so what you got is best (and probably way understated) guesses!
Leaves are starting to drop big style...!
