After the Mudlarks Bird Survey, I caught a train to Cheltenham and than set off for a walk down Devlins Ck. On the way, I met up with Bob, who had recently seen some Powerful Owls and their recently fledged owlets. He joined me for the first part fo the walk and showed me their location.
Even though he had seen them the day before hey were difficult to spot. We looked up into the trees along a section of Devlins Creek. After about 20 unites, our persistence paid off. We spotted a parent owl and one of the chicks. Then with a bit more looking, we spotted another parent and chick.
It was nice to observe these amazing birds. I farewelled Bob, and continued on down the fire road. I then walked down the Lane Cove River to Browns Waterhole, then headed up Terrys Creek to Eastwood Station. On the way, I ddi spot some Greenhood Orchids.
I was also keen to photograph ore birds. Here are some that I saw along the way –
Golden Whistlers
Eastern Spinebills
Eastern Yellow Robins
White-browed Scrubwren
Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo
