Birdwatching

Went for a quick look out west with Iain yesterday.
Castlereagh was as poor as usual, with buff rumped thornbills being the only bird of note.
Bushells lagoon was better with some brown quails but pitt town lagoon was poor.
Scheville (probably not spelt like this) was alright with a good view of a creasted shrike tit.

Mt Solitary Redux

Adelle, Simon and I went for a we wander over Mt Solitary on the weekend. The walk links Katoomba and Wentworth Falls and although it was the third time for me it was the first time in winter which makes it a lot nicer as in summer the heat can be brutal.

The three sisters at the start of the walk.


Heading up the last little bit before reaching the top of Mt Solitary.


Glossy black cockatoo, there were four of these lovely birds about.
