Hi Martin
I live in Caravonica (about to move back to Yorkeys) and have been keeping
an eye out as there have been Masked WS at Koah and I believe there were
Whitebrows in the Goldsborough area but have not seen or heard anything g
other than the normal white breasted. Although have had Pied Butcherbird in
garden and am aware of Red backed Kingfisher near Mossman so interior birds
do seem to be moving eastwards
