Hi folks
On Sunday, I had the unusual sight (I think) of a Lathams
snipe keeping company with Eastern yellow robins and whipbirds. The snipe
was feeding along a rocky creek running through a patch of remnant rainforest in
the Noosa hinterland. The patch contains mature trees with a dense canopy
and measures about 100m X 30m. It is surrounded by dairy pastures.
The bird must have traveled along the creek from its more usual habitat and
continued into the centre of the rainforest patch.
Reminds me of the fact that the Rainforest Aviary in Steve
Irwin's Australia Zoo has a pair of Banded lapwings. Maybe not so unusual
after all??
Regards
Andrew
