After
a pretty good start to 5MR birding, I've managed to find a few more species.
The first Saturday of June a Brown Gerygone and a pair of Scarlet Robins
were reported at Studley Park in Kew. I always love seeing robins and the gerygone is a great record anywhere around metropolitan Melbourne so I went out early on the Sunday for a look.

I didn't know where to look but finding some Tawny Frogmouths and also this gate spurred me on to explore the whole area - another new 5MR spot for me.

I didn't find the gerygone or robins that day so I went for another look the next week. Again I walked around the whole Studley Park area, again with no sign of any gerygones or robins. But, I decided to have 'one last look' up a trail from the boathouse carpark where I'd started and there were the robins:
