This non- holiday morning here in Brisbane I awoke
at around 5.00am to the wonderful sounds of birdsong. No one-eyed
stuff as our bed/window set-up is all wrong. But I
heard:
Kookaburra
Crested Pigeon (nesting outside the wrongly
positioned window)
Spotted Turtle-Dove
Koel (in the distance)
Noisy Miner
Grey Butcherbird
Rainbow Lorikeet
Scaly-breasted Lorikeet
Pale-headed Rosella (hanging around my nest box -
would be a nice change from bees and Common Mynas)
Sulphur-crested Cockatoo
Galah
Channel-billed Cuckoo
Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike
Magpie-lark
Masked Lapwing
Willie Wagtail
Figbird
Olive-backed Oriole
Dollarbird
Striated Pardalote
Welcome Swallow
Sacred Kingfisher (finally back)
I then got up and went for the morning walk with
the dog to check them all out visually plus quite a few more.
Cheers
