Buy one, get one free, was the option offered and accepted by all attendees on this Wednesday walk. The wander around the park gave us time to check out the cemetery, not too far away. And how worthwhile: after having excellent views of a pair of Gang-gang Cockatoos at Bicentennial Park, at the second venue, Queanbeyan Bushland Cemetery, views were had of Peregrine Falcon and Rufous Fantail. We also scored orchids at the first venue and strange looking new wattle ‘leaves’, which turned out to be extremely immature seed pods. Fortunately, some birders attending were also plant people, one of who used ‘phone a friend’ to help name an orchid!!   It was pleasing to hear, although not see, Sacred Kingfisher at the first venue, and hear or see many of the birds we expected, including various parrots and Common Bronzewing. We didn’t note many migrants, although an Eastern Koel was heard in the distance.   The second venue was probably more ‘rewarding’ as we observed nesting by Black- faced Cuckoo-shrike and Magpie-lark fairly close together in the same Eucalyptus. We also had quite good views of some smaller birds, including Red-browed Finch, as well as the larger White-throated Treecreeper. A most enjoyable morning. Thank you, Sandra.   Michael Robbins
