[QUOTE="Andrew Whitehouse, post: 1686125, member: 3550"] [b]Day 22: July 10th, Lamington NP[/b] The morning started with the usual business around the feeders.

The birds were similar to the previous day, with plenty of [B]Red-browed Finches[/B], a [B]White-throated Treecreeper[/B] and a [B]Bassian Thrush[/B]. A [B]Wedge-tailed Eagle[/B] soared overhead.
