Hello all
Around Brisbane, we have all of the usual migrants
back (or just about.) Heaps of Sacred Kingfishers around including one in
our lounge room last week!! Lots of Dollarbirds, Koels and Channel-billed
Cuckoos. Last Saturday I saw a group of nine C-b Cuckoos near Forest Hill
near Laidley in SE Q'ld. Not far away was a large flock (at least 600 I
estimate) of mainly White-browed and Masked Woodswallows with some
White-breasteds thrown in. They were all calling loudly and seemed to be
feeding on swarms of small flying ants.
I could not find the Aust. Pratincoles I had seen a
week earlier at Lake Atkinson.
I was doing some bird surveys for Brisbane City
Council not far south of the city last week and there were also a number of
Forest Kingfishers about.
Cheers
