HI Everyone,
At a campout held by Birds Qld at the weekend in
the Mt. Kilcoy area, SE Qld., we had 13 different species nesting within 1 1/2
kms of the campsite. They were: Aust. Wood Duck,
Australasian Grebe, Brown Goshawk, Tawny Frogmouth, Noisy Friarbird, Leaden
Flycatcher, Restless Flycatcher, Magpie Lark, Spangled Drongo, White-bellied
Cuckoo-shrike, Olive-backed Oriole, Torresian Crow and Red-browed
Finch.
The countryside is looking a picture at present
with all the wonderful rain we have had and obviously the birds appreciate it
too.This must be a record number of breeding species for such a confined
area.
