Mark

I must not be a local yet

I did not even have Manuka in the mix – OPPS – and you could be correct as it probably doesn’t have them

If you watch cricket you will see silver gulls on all of the pitches except the Gabba

This is interesting as it is not that far from the sea or even the Brisbane River

 

Any way a bit of trivia

Cheers

Koel(s) calling constantly during the Australian Open golf coverage yesterday (Kensington)  Also the previous week at Coolum.   My nominations for most-heard bird on Australian radio and television (sports, docos, interviews, soaps, other drama etc) are (1) magpie (2) SC Cockatoo (3) Peaceful Dove (4) koel (5) Noisy Miner (6) seagull (7) Galah  -  depending on location, of course.  Swamphens/coots also up there.

At least 16 Superb Parrots on Mt Rogers this afternoon about 5pm.  A Koel was calling on the lower slopes near Charnwood shortly after.  On 7 December, a Koel was calling on the Spence side (North East side) of Mt Rogers.  Also Koel calling about midday in Lyneham near the archery field today.
