The White-throated Robin and Griffon Vulture remain out west. Three Baillon's Crakes were found today, along with two Spur-winged Plovers and a Black Kite. A count of 140 Spotted Redshank is amazing!
Petrified Forest
WHITE-THROATED ROBIN
Male again at the Petrified Forest Park showed on and off throughout the day.
The park is open but I would suggest you view from the road. This will avoid disturbing the bird by going in to the park.
I received a number of complaints today about birders and photographers pushing the bird around in the park. Nothing I can do only ask everyone to please view from outside the park and do not harass the bird. Thanks.
Park at the end of road by centre as normal. Walk back up the road and at c.200m look right in to park and for square concrete building with some tall, thin cyprus firs by it. The robin was feeding on the ground below these firs and bushes either side and further to the right around the bushes by the covered seating (bandstand).
