 Dear all, 
Just a quick note. 
Birds this am at home (1.5 acres on the Burnett
River  
in Bundaberg City).......... 
Spectacled Monarch....3rd home record...exactly the
same  
                                 
corresponding day of the first sighting in 1995 
Black-faced Monarch....also 3rd record for
home 
Rufous Fantail...first for the season
here 
White-browed Scrub-wren....7 or 8 ...2 family
groups...largest number 
                                        
at one time at home 
Gerygones;Mangrove and White-throated 
Honeyeaters;Lewins,Mangrove,White-throated,Brown,Little Friar,Noisy
Friar 
       
            Blue-faced 
Kingfishers;Sacred and Mangrove 
Plus 25 others. 
  
It seems the weather is changing at last to give us
a little rain 
from the very dry conditions...maybe got the birds
going! 
A Double-barred Finch which started nest building 2
mths ago 
is back at the nest in our Lemon
tree.........presuming it's the 
same finch! 
  
All the best, 
Bill
