After seeing a Powerful Owl family at Cheltenham a few days earlier, I thought it worth heading to Terrys Creek to see if I could spit any newly fledged Powerful Owlets there. I had no luck spotting Powerful Owls despite a lot of looking in places where I had seen them roosting before, but I did see some other nice birds.

Brian had led a similar walk down the Mowlee Ridge last year. That one had been in June and we had seen some interesting geology, some Aboriginal sites and plenty of birds. This time the highlight was a magnificent display of coastal heath wildflowers. Continue reading
