Attached is photo of a MFF taken recently at Durras. A resident at the Sth
Durras Resort regularly puts out seed and may attract up to 20 White headed
Pigeons at a time, along with Crimson & Eastern Rosellas, Black Ducks, Wood
Ducks, King Parrots & Galahs, plus the odd 'roo. A recent addition to the
MFF has been up to 8 Spotted Turtle Doves which seem to be increasing in
numbers in recent months and may be establishing a foothold here. Is this
of concern, i.e. will they displace native birds in this pristine region
(e.g.the White headed Pigeons)?
Other recent sightings down there were a grey morph Eastern Reef Egret at
Mill Point (Murramarang Resort) and a dozen Little Terns which landed less
than 10 metres from me while I was fishing on Jemison's Beach (Potato
Point).
