Hi all,
just
reporting on my hunt for Spotted Quailthrush over Easter in the Glenelg River
District for those that are interested. I found 3 birds just north-west of
Tremaine Swamp on Mt Deception Rd. They were in much denser habitat than I had
been led to believe and this will change my approach to finding them here in
S.A. again. Other highlights were the large number of Gang Gang Cockatoos in the
area, many groups of three - five birds were encountered. They seemed to prefer
the taller stringybark forest. There are only three records of them from
adjacent parts of S.A. which seems difficult to explain to me given the amount
of birds I saw. Also a possible record of Masked Owl heard calling on Sunday
night. Thanks to all those who helped by providing info on SQT's, but finding
them was much tougher than I had thought. Hope you all had a very birdy
Easter.
Cheers and good birding.
