On Thursday June 20th, Julie took me to Mt. Glorious for 4 hours of birding.Things started pretty slowly but after a while we saw good numbers of Eastern Yellow Robin, Brown Thornbill and White-browed Scrub Wren. A Yellow-throated Scrubwren, a Whipbird and a small group of Brown Gerygones added to the birds on the forest floor.
As we reached the overlook window we ran into a large group of Satin Bowerbirds and managed to find a male Regent Bowerbird feeding with them. Soon after we saw a perched Green Catbird to complete the set of three!

We then drove on to Wivenhoe Overlook, where Jill had told me that White-browed Tree-creepers could be found. As luck would have it we ran into a bird expert and sometime tour guide Nick who found the bird for us! We also found a couple of White-naped Honeyeaters. Both these birds were lifers for me.
