There's lots of walks available at O'Reilly's and we chose the Booyong Walk.
Not long in I spotted a blob in a tree, but it was rather dark and getting focused was tricky. Got it ID'd by mjh (many thanks) as an immature Eastern Yellow Robin (not my first sighting of the species, but my first youngster).
High in the fork of a tree Hans spotted a female Paradise Riflebird (my only bird-of-paradise of the trip I think).
All the way round I could hear whipbirds calling... such a distinctive call. Then we came to the Treetop walk, which Judy and I decided to take. The picture I've chosen, shows a guy climbing up a tree ladder. Nope!!! Not doing that!!!:eek!:
It was very interesting to do, but being late morning now, I guess most of the birds had taken to the shade.
Back on firm ground, we met up with Hans again and shortly after found a rather lovely juvenile King Parrot.
Then it was time for lunch. And what a view you get from their restaurant!
