Tyto sights for the luckless
Open days this weekend and Italian Festival next weekend mean big increases in Tyto visitor numbers. For those not able to make it - and for most who did, but didn't get lucky - a few birds from the past week or so.
Crimson Finch (Neochmia phaeton)
Yellow Honeyeater (Lichenostomus flavus)
Willie Wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys)
Red-backed Fairy-wren (Malurus melanocephalus)
Helmeted Friarbird (Philemon buceroides)
