We also had a  Pictorella Mannikin (one bird only) on our property 5 km from 
Mareeba in North Queensland on May 2. Atlas record submitted.

This would appear to be outside their recorded range in the Atlas book

I think this is about 350km east of where they are often recorded in Georgetown 
(where actually saw about 20 the same weekend at the racecourse and Cumberland 
dam).

I understand they have also been seen near the cost at Giru, south of 
Townsville.

Either more observers are out and about or perhaps these birds are 
spreading/moving about a bit.
