Brisbane

["Tobias Hayashi" <>]

Hi all,
Just back from a marathon two week trip to Brisbane and everywhere in 
between. Highlights were:
--a male Superb Lyrebird displaying at the Barrington Tops;
--lots of Black-faced Monarchs and Ground Thrushes at the same place;
-- a pair of Glossy Black-Cockatoos that flew over;
--at Yuraygir NP Grey-tailed Tattlers and a Tattler that puzzled me-it was 
like a Grey-tailed but it had the (base) half of its bill yellow on both 
mandibles and the bill was slightly upcurved;
--a pair of Pale Yellow Robins at Mt Glorius, Brisbane;
--Striated Heron, Mangrove Gerygone, Mangrove Honeyeater and waders at 
Tinchi Tamba, Brisbane;
--Forest Kingfisher, Scarlet Honeyeater, Little shrike-Thrush,Spectacled 
Monarch, and Spangled Drongo at Noosa;
--Topknot Pigeon, Large-billed Scrudwren, lots of Logrunners, Brown 
Gerygones, Brown Cuckoo-Dove, White-headed Pigeon, Wonga Pigeon and Regent 
Bowerbirds at Lamington NP;
--Lesser Sand Plover, Sanderlings, a flock of Common Terns, a Little Egret, 
a pair of Little Terns and great views of a female Osprey (photo attached) 
at Sandon River, Yuraygir NP;
--two juvenile? Little Bronze-Cuckoos at the same place (their head and 
upper breast was covered in a dark murkish brown, and the barring was 
incomplete);
--plus a bird i saw in both Barrington and Lamington: it looked like an 
Olive Whistler, only it was much paler, and had a distinct yellow on 
undertail coverts. Golden Whistler? If so, I haven't seen one like it.
Also, Red-necked Wallaby, Red-necked Pademelon, Yelow-faced Whipsnake, 
Red-bellied Black Snake, Northern Brown Bandicoot, and a possible Common 
Planigale and Southern Myotis.
A big bonus was McNaught's Comet (photo attached)
