Hi all,
I haven't managed to get out birding much lately, but on the weekend finally
managed to head out to the Lockyer Valley with Nick Leseberg (my first visit
since the extensive flooding in January). It was a great day, with ten
species of raptor including several sightings of Black Falcon, nearly every
species of duck possible in SEQ, and just a generally nice day to be out
birding. After their near complete absence from the region last year, some
dry-country waterbirds are starting to be seen in the Lockyer again, with a
Yellow-billed Spoonbill and several White-necked Herons seen in the area.
I'm still waiting for Red-kneed Dotterels to return, as this was a species
I expected to see last year and managed not to find, or even hear about any
records in the Brisbane area for the whole of 2010.
I've done a brief trip report at
http://aussiebirding.wildiaries.com/trips/10693 which breaks the day down by
site.
Cheers,
Chris
