SO THAT WAS JANUARY

The first month of 2013 is over, and I've seen some good birds.  I visited seven Melbourne parks (Banyule, Blackburn Lake, Braeside, Jells Park, Karkarook, Wilsmere Billabong and Wilson Reserve), and went to Bendigo, Healesville and Kooyoora State Park.  My best birds were Baillon's Crake (thanks to Richard), Spotless Crake, Latham's Snipe (lots of them), Ruff (thanks to Andrew), Large-billed Scrubwren and that lovely little Rufous Fantail.  Now let's see what I can do in February.
