23/08/24 Bird & Frog survey: Yellingbo

Notes from: a Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater hosted citizen science event.
I love doing this walk on our citizen science Bird & Frog surveys in Yellingbo Nature Conservation Area, circumnavigating a section of Cockatoo Swamp. The habitat type changes around almost every bend and the tall trees make us all seem so small. A great morning today where 15 of us helped record 51 species of birds and 3 frog species. The highlights? A great group of people including 3 new participants, Robert's homemade lemon slice, 3 raptor species (Brown Goshawk, Wedge-tailed Eagle and Whistling Kite), Jacky-winters, a Black-fronted Dotterel, a Bassian Thrush allowing us to watch him quietly move through the leaf litter, blue skies and 14.6 deg C when we set out at 9am, on a still day (1.2km/h wind) before the expected storm later today.
