Brisbane Ranges

["Joy Tansey" <>]

A great Sunday in the Brisbane Ranges. Highlights were excellent views of
both Fan-tailed Cuckoo and Shining Bronze Cuckoo without even having to
move, Scarlet Robin and a very noisy immature Olive-backed Oriole. The
Oriole stayed within view and chattered noisily not unlike a rosella or
parrot, interspersed with short typical Oriole calls. It sounded like a
group of birds rather than just one! Lots of honeyeaters with seven species
seen. Of course, the Powerful Owls remain mythical.
