Dear Birding-ausers,

I will be travelling to Cairns for a week next Sat 10 May 2014 to Fri 16 May 
2014 as a 'nanny dad' for my 5 yo and will be based at a hotel around 
Esplanade/Marina.

Is there any strange gulls or rare shorebirds along the Esplanade at this 
period? Any recent good sites or tips to see some of my wishlist would be 
greatly appreciated:-

Southern Cassowary
Great-billed Heron
Sarus Crane (Are they easy to see in Atherton Tablelands at this time?)
Australian Bustard
Beach Stone-Curlew

Otherwise any common local birds or regional endemics will surely impress a 
Sydneysider who has never birded in any parts of Queensland.

I am able to drive around to look for good birding sites as long as it is not 
too demanding for my daughter.

Is Michaelmas Cay still good at this time of the year?

I suppose the Buff-breasted Kingfisher has gone by now.

Thanks in advance on any advices, either in response to this thread or private 
message.

Happy Birding!

Regards,
Tun Pin Ong
Lidcombe, NSW
