Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters
Here are some more photos from March/April in the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park. I saw Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters at Bartley’s Block, Lappin’s Dam, along Donchi Hill Road and Bullant Track.

The parrots and rosellas are more patient than the little honeyeaters. They perch in the trees by the dam and sit there for some time before coming in for a drink. Once again these photos are from Lappin’s Dam, Chiltern.
Not the greatest quality (heavily cropped and grass/foliage between us), but I was still happy to get a photo of this Yellow-footed Antechinus at Lappin’s Dam, near Chiltern.
A good number of the photos I took over Easter were at Lappin’s Dam, in the north-west of the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park. There was not much water in the dam, but more than most of the other bush dams in the area.
I saw Dusky Woodswallows numerous times as I drove along Donchi Hill Road, north-west of Chiltern.
There weren’t just birds at Chiltern. While quietly waiting for something to photograph I frequently had Swamp Wallabies come in to visit. I saw this one with joey coming in to drink early in the morning, and late afternoon.
Another photo from Bartley’s Block, Chiltern. A yellow robin this time – the Eastern Yellow Robin.
Bartley’s Block, just north of the Chiltern township is a great spot to see birds. While I was unsuccessfully trying to get a clear photo of the Turquoise Parrot, I spotted something in the sapling near me… this Spotted Pardalote.
My photos from Chiltern continue… This one shows a Willie Wagtail outnumbered by Brown-headed Honeyeaters.
