Yellow-billed Kingfisher at Kingfisher Park Birdwatchers Lodge

[Kingfisher Park Birdwatchers Lodge <>]

Hi Folks,
A male Yellow-billed Kingfisher was seen and photographed along Bushy 
Creek on 29/12/2013, which forms one boundary of the Lodge. This 
represents a considerable extension to its normal range on Cape York 
Peninsula, which extends south to the lower reaches of the McIlwraith 
Range, south east of Coen. There have been unconfirmed records in past 
years as far south as Eubenangee Swamp, north of Innisfail Far North 
Queensland. We have seen images, which were taken by one of our Japanese 
guests at the Lodge this afternoon. Two others also saw this bird. We 
will be looking out for this bird tomorrow.
Cheers,
Keith & Lindsay.
