Hopped up Wallaman Falls road today on scent of Musky Rat-kangaroo (an atypically diurnal marsupial). Sniffed out a couple of animals, but no pictures. The birds wouldn't front the camera either. So, some from other outings:
Brown Gerygone (Gerygone mouki), usually notable active and noisy: quiet today.
Spectacled Monarch (Symposiarchus trivirgatus), immature: several heard in lawyer vine thickets.
Tooth-billed Catbird (Scenopoeetes dentirostris), gone quiet at display areas lately.
Large-billed Scrubwren (Sericornis magnirostra), active and chatty all over the place.
Wompoo Fruit-Dove (Ptilinopus magnificus), more cooing than wollack-a-wooing.

Colourful adulthood to come
Immature Buff-breasted Paradise-Kingfisher (Tanysiptera sylvia) hints at
colours to come with adulthood as it shows out briefly on lower slopes
beside road up to Wallaman Falls. Quest for older birds continued
yesterday without any further sightings.
Less colourful but more reliably present, Pale-yellow Robin (Tregellasia
capito) turns up to keep an eye on things.
Also usually present in numbers but not often popping out from high cover
on the upper slopes, Brown Gerygone (Gerygone mouki).
