Spotted Quail-thrush, Black-chinned Honeyeater, Renewed Logging at Cordalba, South-East Queensland

["Greg Roberts" <>]

Among some nice birds found during a visit to Cordalba, near Childers in
south-east Queensland, were a pair of Spotted Quail-thrush (a species in
decline in south-east Queensland) and a group of Black-chinned Honeyeater
(also rare in the region). Yellow-tufted Honeyeater, which has a strange and
spotty distribution in south-east Queensland, was also encountered.

 

Less pleasant was evidence of renewed logging in Corealba State Forest,
along with the destruction of woodland vegetation for road widening,
presumably to facilitate more logging. These woodlands had been protected by
the former Labor administration but have been reopened for logging by the
Campbell Newman-led Liberal National Party Government - one of a series of
unfortunate developments that seriously threaten the Queensland environment.
