Avon Valley National Park - new bird!

[gemfyre]

Yesterday's walk was about 80km out of Perth on the Darling Scarp at Avon Valley National Park. The main habitats here are jarrah forests with an understorey of dryandra, a river valley and open wandoo forest.

Unfortunately we didn't see the hoped for Crested Shrike-tit but I did get one new bird - Yellow-plumed Honeyeater (Lichenostomus ornatus). Got good looks at two of them. :)

Also got stuck at the gate for an hour with a few other people. The overzealous ranger closed the park about 20 minutes early.
