I was interested to see large numbers of Mangrove Honeyeaters in
the car park of the Port of Brisbane Visitors Centre at Lytton at the
weekend. Ive been there a number of times and generally see a few
birds. But on this visit the beautiful flowering natives were
literally alive with Mangrove Honeyeaters, all very active and with
much of their distinctive alarm calls and song going on. Personally I
had never seen so many of this species in one spot.
The lake at the Port of Brisbane Visitors Centre is always a good
spot to see waterbirds, and had Chestnut Teal, Black Duck, Grey
Teal, a pair of Pink-eared Ducks ( generally uncommon in Brisbane),
Australian Pelican, Royal Spoonbill, Little, Intermediate and Great
Egret, Black Swan, Australasian Grebe, Little Black and Little Pied
Cormorants, Darter, White and Straw-necked Ibis, Black-winged Stilts,
White-faced Heron, Coot, Purple Swamphen, Dusky Moorhen and a Swamp
Harrier and a Brahminy Kite overhead.
