Hi All,
If anyone's interested a week late, here is a list of the birds seen on
Tuesday, 27th June, 2000, in Toowoomba, South-East Queensland, and then
down the hill around Helidon and Gatton. My husband, James, prepared the
list, and I notice Ostrich at the top of the list. I think we can safely
presume that the ostrich was behind a fence. Most of the birds were seen on
the downland area, with heaps around Bill Jolly's place at Helidon. Bill &
Eileen have a really special location for birds, and anyone who hasn't
stayed at Bill's might well consider doing so.
Bill, I thought James would prepare a list according to locations after we
left your place. The only uncommon ones were perhaps the Glossy Ibis at
Jahnke's Lagoon, as well as the Chestnut Teal also at Jehnke's. We took
ages to identify it with any confidence, because it was a young male
acquiring adult plumage, and was a real melange. If anything looks odd,
just ask, and I have a separate scrawling of notes of where we saw what.
Cheers,
Jill
