This is the first Sacred Kingfisher (see
flickr link below) that I’ve seen on Mt Rogers over a fifteen
year period. The area is almost moving with Christmas beetles,
butterflies, dragonflies and general insect life – supporting
a lot of activity. I have seen the currawongs hawking the
Christmas beetles but not seen one actually being eaten. A
Koel is present virtually every morning and afternoon in the
area from Mildenhall Place to Wickens Place on the northern
side of Mt Rogers in Fraser. It’s probably the same one/s that
have been there for the last three years. There are a lot of
red wattle birds in the area and I suspect these will be
playing host to some young shortly!

Spence shop.
