Meet at 9.00 am at the Sherwood Forest car park on Mountain Creek Rd at
https://maps.app.goo.gl/bQMmyUEatcWjUdzZA. Our slow walk will take us up the forestry road through woodlands to the hill top. There are nice views to be had across to Canberra and a good range of woodland birds to be found, including the chance of Spotted Quail-thrush.

Eight COG members joined me for this outing, with trip organiser Kim laid low by a bad cold. While the hoped-for quail-thrush failed to materialise, we managed 29 species, including a persistent Wonga Pigeon heard for an extended period. Other species included a White-winged Chough on a nest, several Rufous Whistlers, two Shining Bronze-Cuckoos and several White-throated Treecreepers. Many of those on the outing had not been to this area before, and we all enjoyed the wonderful views from the top of the walk.
