On Thursday (1 March) a Sacred Kingfisher
visited the garden briefly. I live in Garbutt, a semi industrial suburb of
Townsville (19*S) adjacent to the airport, approx 1 km in from the coast. I
last noted a Sacred K/fisher passing through last
September. Marleen Acton also reported a Sacred
K/fisher a couple of days ago near her home in Douglas, 9km further inland,
close to James Cook University.
Today (3 March) I had a Dollarbird (new bird
foir the yard list) doing all kinds of wheelies above the canopy, not hawking as
the White-breasted Woodswallows were. A young Koel is still around
calling.
Has the northern migration begun????
