Canberra Birdwatching - Tharwa Sandwash

A lovely late autumn afternoon along the Murrumbidgee River at Tharwa Sandwash.  I saw a few new things for me today so that was pretty cool.

We think this is a grey shrike-thrush

This scarlet robin popped up right in front of us as we were eating lunch

Stu took this - we think it's a female golden whistler

I've seen golden whistlers before, but they're so shiny!

Stu got some great shots of this eastern yellow robin (mine were all out of focus)

We originally thought this was another golden whistler, but a Google search says it's a rufous whistler
