Hi Folks,
Our Buff-breasted Paradise-Kingfisher population at the Lodge is
expanding with five nests that have chicks in and at least another three
with birds sitting.
Some of the chicks hatched about a week ago, which is several weeks
later than last year but last year we had floods in February and the
chicks were out of the nest before the floods came, they obviously knew
they were coming.
The majority of termite mounds with nests are above flood level but at
least two went under. More information can be found at

Cheers,
Keith & Lindsay.
