Hi birding-aussers,
I'll be in the Borroloola area, Carpentaria, from 23rd to 29th April,
doing some atlassing, and trying to catch up on some of the special
birds in the area. I'll also have an afternoon and evening in Darwin on
Saturday 22nd. I have the usual bird finding guides, but if anyone
has any recent or additional information on the birds below, I'd be
very grateful.
A trip report will be posted on birding-aus for this relatively
little-visited area.
Borroloola Area
Main target birds are:
Carpentarian Grasswren

Also does anyone know any good mangrove areas, or coastal sites
