Did get some nice photo's of a Gilbert's Whistler though. We'll done on the Regents they along with the Malleefowl are my Gluepot Bogey birds!I go up there about 5 times a year and am yet to see them! Seen them elsewhere just never at GP!! Seen real rarities like Scarlets and a bird even less often seen in SA: Painted Honeyeaters! but Regents and Malleefowl nope..... not a bad thing though just gives me an extra reason to go back! <br />Chris Steeleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02774372003786186885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932359332516177093.post-9256211795383611202012-07-24T22:03:43.504+10:002012-07-24T22:03:43.504+10:00Hi Judi, Red-capped Robin is on the Toowoomba Bird...Hi Judi, Red-capped Robin is on the Toowoomba Bird Observers list.<br />Could be a possibility in your area?John Kooistrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955385839241214397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932359332516177093.post-15193551240918223112012-07-22T18:30:58.333+10:002012-07-22T18:30:58.333+10:00What a beautiful looking spot.
