Canberra Birdwatching - Sherwood Forest

16.8.26

Wayy out the back of Canberra beyond Uriarra is a spot called Sherwood Forest.  We stopped in on our way home from a Burrinjuck weekend.  With all the rain recently there were spots that were very .. moist!  Didn't see a huge amount of bird life, but Stu was very excited to see a spotted quail-thrush in the ACT.

I snapped this spotted quail-thrush as it darted behind a bush.  We never saw it again.

This white-eared honeyeater was wayyyyy off at the top of a tree in the distance, didn't even know what I'd taken a photo of until we downloaded the photos.
