White-browed Babbler
The White-browed Babblers that I saw over Easter in the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park spent most of their time digging around in the leaf litter. This one popped up onto a branch, giving me a nice, clear view.

Friarbirds in Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park
The Friarbirds are comparatively large honeyeaters with few feathers, if any, on their heads. There were two species of Friarbird at the Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park over Easter: the smaller Little Friarbird, and the larger Noisy Friarbird.
Eastern Spinebills at Bartley’s Block, Chiltern
The new $5 note includes an oddly coloured Eastern Spinebill (read about it on the Reserve Bank’s web site). Here are a couple of photos of Eastern Spinebills at Bartley’s Block, Chiltern. I think one of them is having a laugh 🙂
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.
Red-rumped Parrot and Eastern Rosella
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.
Peaceful Dove and Bronzewing
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.
Dusky Woodswallow
I saw Dusky Woodswallows numerous times as I drove along Donchi Hill Road, north-west of Chiltern.
Plenty of wallabies too
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.
Be careful where you sit
When I saw this Willie Wagtail sitting on a barbed wire fence I had to stop and take a photo.
Eastern Yellow Robin
Another photo from Bartley’s Block, Chiltern. A yellow robin this time – the Eastern Yellow Robin.
