Spotted Whistling-Duck
Weipa
Today I observed 65+ SWDs with 30+ Burdekin Ducks, a few greenshanks and masked
lapwings, 2 common sandpipers and a marsh sandpiper. Interestingly most of the
birds were in the paddock where the old pond used to be which now has a decent
puddle courtesy of the rain and a lot of vegetation. A week ago (with 300mm
less rain) I counted 75 SWDs and 44 Burdekin Ducks in the rain filled sewage
pond.

Oriental Cuckoo
Mill Road, Moggill State Forest
Enter forest from Mill Road, turn right at first track going uphill to west. The bird was about 150 meters along this road, where the drier forest starts. There are also currently up to three Oriental Cuckoos at Anstead Bush Reserve.

reported Black tailed gull (Now considered to be a 2nd season Kelp Gull
Gladstone Marina
Single bird watched as it fed on a dead fish for about 20 mins. Saw this bird about 2 weeks ago but couldnt get close to it. (Description has been reviewed and sounds good for an adult - it would be good if others could go and check and get photos. Eds) (After much discussion on Birding-aus and photographs bird is considered to be a Kelp Gull -Editor)
