Instead, I went back up to Mount Glorious, and walked the trails all day. Short stop for coffee in the village, then in the car park/grassy area, a good-size flock of tiny birds, which were mostly Red-browed Firetails, but some Large-billed Scrubwrens, Silvereyes and Gerygones too. I'll deal with the goodies later, but as usual, rainforest birding is frustrating with long periods of nothing and occasional bursts of a few birds. Almost always more than one species at once. Eastern Yellow Robins were again confiding (and slightly annoying!) Lewin's Honeyeaters called almost all the time, but seldom seen. A couple of Green Catbirds were again easy to see. A few Grey and one very showy Rufous Fantail. Two or three Land Mullets came out to sun themselves by the paths. A pair of Sunbirds briefly showed as did a delightful Scarlet Honeyeater. I have finally had good views of an Eastern Whipbird. What I failed to mention is that almost the first birds I saw, before out of the car park were:476) WHITE-HEADED PIGEON477) RUSSET-TAILED THRUSH and478) NOISY PITTA, which stunned me by walking onto the path about 20 metres ahead and staying for pics!More anon, it's beer o'clock!</blockquote>
