Later in the day I went for a walk up Bald Hill Road where I had good numbers of Galah's (Eolophus roseicapilla), which were paired of and displaying to each other near there nest holes.

Other species seen during this walk were my first Elegant Parrots (Neophema elegans) which were also inspecting possible nest holes, a pair of very territorial Scarlet Robins (Petroica boodang) which came in to my pishing as I was trying to attract some
Buff-rumped Thornbills (Acanthiza reguloides) in, infact just about everything was more interested that the
Thornbills as
Grey Shrikethrush (Colluricincla harmonica),
White-browed Scrubwren (Sericornis frontalis) and
Crescent Honeyeater (Phylidonyris pyrrhopterus) came in to see who was making stupid noises.

By one of the Dams lower down in the valley I picked up
Australian Ibis (Threskiornis molucca),
Australian Wood Duck (Chenonetta jubata),
Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae) and just before I reached the farm but still in the trees I had two raptors come over which I can only guess were
Whistling Kites (Haliastur sphenurus) but when I told Deb she said they were rare in the area so as I did not get great views or ant pic's due to the trees I cannot put these on the list.
