Message: <blockquote data-quote="colonelboris" data-source="post: 1822708" data-attributes="member: 40117">Yet another walk over the quarry.  Straight off were several Lewin's Honeyeaters, Grey Fantails and the first of many Red Wattlebirds.Fairly quiet for a bit after that, but in the damp corner (it goes from savannah to rainforest in about 100 m), something grey and white burst out of the undergrowth with whirring wings.  More on this later.  A few more minutes later and four Brown Cuckoo-doves flew in and perched on a branch.  After hanging around for a bit longer, there was a rustle in the undergrowth, followed by a bounding series of thumps from something moderately heavy.  I'd heard from a friend that Swamp Wallabies turn up in the area, so I'm wondering...Another rustle - this time in a tree, low down and after a minute of looking, I can see a Wonga Pigeon.  I've heard them over there a few times, but not seen one until now.  Most likely it was one that had flown off earlier from the same spot.  Otherwise, a couple of Golden Whistlers, a Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike and more Red Wattlebirds than I've ever seen in one place before.</blockquote>
