| Tue 31 | | Yellow-tailed black cockatoo
35 Faithfull Circuit Kambah ACT |
| A flock of 14 Yellow-tailed Black-cockatoos flew into a tree and stayed approximately 10 minutes. It looked as though they were eating the seed pods in the tree (unsure of tree type). They left after being harassed by the local Magpie-larks and Pied Currawongs.
I don't often see Black-cocktatoos come through this area and have never seen such a large flock come into the suburbs. |

| Sun 22 | | Spotted Quail-thrush; Crested Shrike-tit
Namadgi National Park, Old Boboyan Road, ivo Hospital Creek Hut |
| Female Spotted Quail-thrush flushed from ground as I walked past, but then settled nearby, long enough to identify. Male Crested Shrike-tit attracted my attention due to the noise it was making ripping through bark on eucalyptus trees, approx 1.5 metres off the ground. Unfortunately was not able to get photos. |
