It can be challenging birding in new environments, especially when it involves tall trees! At home in Broome we don’t have many tall trees and so whilst we are visiting Victoria we have had to adapt. We are having to adapt to cold weather too, because it has mostly been very cold despite it being summer! Grey Fantails are incredibly common around Gippsland and probably the most common bird around Foster.

Since the last notice of him on this blogsite (in June 2018), Steve Burrows has published two more novels in his terrific “Birder Murder” series, the fifth and sixth – respectively, A Tiding of Magpies and, now the latest, A Dance of Cranes. This is good news, and especially so for birders. It is true that not every reader has a fondness for murder mysteries (and there is, admittedly, a certain amount of dreck in the genre, much of that authored, curiously enough, by lawyers).

What a time to be alive. Some of us still had Christmas Bird Count commitments this weekend, while others could focus on holiday prep, holiday celebration, and holiday panic. Still others found the time and opportunity to give themselves the gift of birding where they wanted to when they wanted to. I hope your transition to a new year involves as much of that last activity as you could hope for.
