Birds at Webb Park

At 10.30-11.30, the weather was mild with light breeze and some cloud building up.
In rainforest, one stands and waits for birds to emerge, whereas in eucalypts one walks until you find a group or feeding guild.
Noisy miners, pied currawongs, pale-headed rosella with notable red vent.
We heard a Torresian crow - we don't find the Little crow here.
The crested pigeon has a metallic sound.
The spotted pardalote calls a lot in winter when they nest. It was invisible in the vegetation.
Ibis circled above but I did not take a close look.
The whipbird is very common in denser vegetation. the male calls and the female replies with a couple of cracks.
The Lewin honeyeater has a machine gun call. It is common in gardens.
We watched 3 yellow-tail black cockatoos who responded to our phone-calls. They sound like a seagull.
I took a photo of a pale-headed rosella.
