Rose Robins have returned to the Mt Neebo area
just to the north out of Brisbane. This is the first sighting for me for this
year.
Koels and Channel-billed Cuckoos seem to have
headed north from their summer sojourn in the south(!). Up until this past week
I was still hearing them calling in the early morning in the inner Brisbane
suburb of Red Hill.
On an outing on Saturday to Inskip Point to
successfully (at last!) locate the Black-breasted Button-Quail, reported by Russ
Lamb on birding-aus, there were still numbers of Bee-eaters and Dollarbirds to
be seen in the environs of Inskip Point, Rainbow Beach and Cooloola NP (south of
Hervey Bay and north of the Sunshine Coast - sorry I'm not a GPS
owner).
