I'm jealous about the hooded robin, don't believe I've seen one of those yet, and it didn't make an appearance when I was there! I have to laugh about the peaceful doves though, the second time I went, as soon as I got out of the car, roughly 12 of them just took off in different directions, they're everywhere. Glad you saw the firetails too. I was pleasently surprised to see the babblers there, not the first time I've seen them, but I think they're a joy to watch, and their calls always make me smile.That's so great about the RBE's, I honestly had trouble counting them myself as well. Was thinking about you today though as this evening we had 10 make a pass over the house again, calling as they went. As for the whistlers, there's a good chance they'll be rufous whistlers. I saw a male in the second field with the bee-eaters, and there were a few females around as well. They have striations on the chest which are reasonably obvious, if you didn't see those however, I couldn't say what they were. And I know what you mean about the time spent there, I spent over 3 hours there, haha... had only planned to spend 2 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> Also, I'm jealous about the cuckoo, I hear them, but I never see them!And thanks BlueJam, glad you enjoyed it. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
