Eleven members of the group visited Reef Hill State Park, 5km south of Benalla, on Thursday morning 9 June. Rain threatened but we stayed dry while doing several walks from the picnic area on Reef Hills Road. Birding was pretty quiet. A few Grey Shrike-thrushes flew into the trees above us, and a White-throated Treecreeper landed nearby. It took some time, but most of the group finally got a look at a male Scarlet Robin. We also had distant views of 2 large groups of White-winged Choughs.
At our next meeting we will visit a property on the Broken River 5 km out of Benalla on the Shepparton Road. Thanks to Carole and Godfrey, whose son and daughter-in-law own the property, and who have arranged our visit to this lovely spot.
Thursday 9 June - Meet at the Barkly St car park at 10am…..and please bring your ideas for semester 2.
