Dear all,
I have been trying to assemble a bit of up-to-date info for a potential
long-weekend birding trip to Brisbane/Lamington/Cooloola over Xmas. I have
searched through the archives, but didn?t find answers to all my questions.
Therefore I would be very grateful if a kind soul could share recent
information on stake-outs in this area. Particularly, I am interested in the
following questions:
1.) Are the following Thomas & Thomas sites (or Nigel Wheatley sites) still
relevant for their target species? If not, is there any alternative recent
detailed stake-out information on these species?
- Mt Merino Loop (O?Reilly?s) for Scrubbird
- Slaughter Falls (Mount Coot-tha) for White-throated Nightjar
- Lake Samsonvale for Red-backed Buttonquail
- Bellbird Grove for Painted Buttonquail
- Duck Creek Road (O?Reilly?s) for Black-breasted Buttonquail
- Girraween NP for Plum-headed Finch
2.) Where can Grass Owls be reliably found? I seem to remember hearing about
local Brisbane people that can show them to visitors? Is that true?
3.) After all this talk about the undescribed fig-parrot, where have all the
latest sightings of good old Coxen?s Fig-Parrot been? Any spot worth trying?
(I realize that this is a long shot?)
4.) Any reliable stake-out for Red Goshawk, Lewin?s Rail and Painted Snipe?
I would greatly appreciate any input on these questions or any general tips
(preferably off-list). Thank you very much in advance.
Happy birding
Frank
