Visit to Cairns

[Tony Russell <>]

An appeal for help from Cairns type people.
Having been to Cairns previously my birdlist for the area is already quite
good, but for reasons of wrong time of year, or I just missed them anyway,
the following species are still on my wants list:
Wandering Tattler
Common Koel
Channel-billed Cuckoo
Rufous Owl
Lesser Sooty Owl
Masked Owl
Yellow-billed Kingfisher
Buff-breasted Paradise Kingfisher
Zitting Cisticola
Black-throated Finch
Blue-faced Parrot Finch
White's Thrush (Zoothera l. cuneata)
Russet-tailed Thrush

I will be in Cairns in the 1st week of October, realising that this may be a
bit early for some of the above, but would very much appreciate any info in
regard to where, specifically, the above may be found.Thank you.

Ever Hopeful.  Tony Russell  VP SAOA.
