G'day all,
This year the White-throated Nightjars
started to arrive in the Townsville Railway Workshops on the 10th March. The
numbers have dropped (from previous years) but at least they seem to be
continuing on through. The greatest number on any day was 7. It appears that
their migration has now finished for this year as none have been seen since the
17th of May. This year only about 4 (that we know of) have been taken by feral
cats.
Also of interest in the Workshops on the 11th was a
Barn Owl (plus 5 Nightjars).
The Bush-stone Curlews are now congregating into
large groups with about 30 reported at the sporting complex in and around the
soccer nets.
Marleen.
