Two Asian Dowitchers are presently easy to see on the North Pine River near
Brisbane. One bird was found a few days ago at this spot by Andy Jensen.

 

I saw a Black Bittern several times along the Noosa River at Tewantin along
with Shining Flycatcher. At one point I flushed the bittern at close
quarters and it dived into the water, with its head and neck appearing
darter-like before the bird disappeared. Has anyone else seen bitterns
behaving in this way?
