Returning from Canberra, there is a rest stop on the freeway just south of Wodonga called "Chiltern NP Rest Stop". It has a circuit walk into the National Park which takes about 15 minutes to walk and is quite good for birds, making this an attractive place to break the journey.

First is from a previous outing, Long-tailed tit is only my third ever sighting of the species, which aren't terribly common in London and the Dunnock was a pleasant lifer out of my window as well.

35. Red-crested pochard
36. Long-tailed tit
37. Dunnock

Lockdown birding is pretty hard going in London :D.

38. Great crested grebe, Podiceps cristatus

Few weeks back saw a few really fat goldfish in a lake next to a road, I have no idea whether these individuals were a breeding population or just released individuals, but I'll count them on my total for now. Around a week ago I also saw my first kingfisher, at the back of my house, I also walked to the southern side of the beach I live next to that day, to try and see some rosellas. After some difficulty trying to get to them (having to scale a slippery slope), managed to see a flock of them in a row of flax bushes. The day after I decided to try my luck at seeing kingfisher again, so I walked up the peninsula, and to my surprise actually managed to see one. Whilst it disappeared almost the second I approached it, it was a much more satisfactory viewing of it having been perched on a small ledge on a rocky beach, allowing me to see it's features better. Also managed to see my first rabbit of the year as a small white behind disappearing into some brush, which was a species I thought I would've seen much earlier.
