G'day folks
Need some outside help with this.
Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos started coming annually to Toowoomba in
1991. Before then, they were a rarity. Toowoomba Bird Observers club
has just a handful of records between 1975 and 1990.
We've grown accustomed to seeing them and felt rather privileged that
our city became part of their yearly routine. However, this year
they've apparently bypassed Toowoomba for greener pastures,
presumably a result of the widespread rains earlier in the year.
We've surveyed red-tails locally over the past couple of years to
determine their diurnal movements and numbers around town and the
Lockyer Valley. Having initiated that survey, it seems only right
that I now try and find out who stole our red-tails!
Therefore, grateful if anyone can help with the following:
- where RTBCs been seen in SEQ this year;
- where they currently are in SEQ; and
- what other areas they have bypassed this year.
On another note, I'm interested to know what's the closest they've
been recorded to Brisbane. From our local records it appears they
venture no closer than about Lake Clarendon, Lawes and Laidley in the
Lockyer Valley. (Look's like places starting with 'L' are the
limit?!)
Cheers
