Hi Everyone,
The Birds Australia-North Queensland Group had a very successful trip to
Hallorans Hill on 7th May,
which is situated in the middle of Atherton on the Atherton Tablelands inland
from Cairns. Raptors
were most notable from the top of the hill with Square-tailed Kite, Spotted
Harrier and Black Kite
in the binos at the same time! 2 Wedge-tailed Eagles also cruised by as did a
Brown Goshawk. Other
interesting birds on the walk up, which traverses woodland and rainforest were
White-throated
Treecreeper, Red-backed Fairy-wren, Eastern Yellow Robin, Grey-headed Robin,
and Varied Sittella.
The total list was almost 50 species which is not bad for the middle of
Atherton, if anyone is
visiting Atherton it's well worth spending a few hours walking to the top of
the hill.
The walk starts in the picnic ground at the junction of Louise & Cook Street,
next to Atherton
hospital.
Cheers
Keith & Lindsay Fisher
