G'day all, a brief update on some sightings in North West
Queensland.....
Two Hoary Headed Grebes have been seen at the Julia Creek Sewerage
Treatment Pond yesterday. A pair of Pink Eared Ducks have also
been visiting too. Some Black Fronted Dotterels (including a pair
with recently hatched chicks) and also nine Australian Pratincoles
were observed around the edges of the pond. A Channel Billed Cuckoo
also flew over head.
Last Saturday (5.04.03) - excellent views of a Grey Falcon seen
about 40 kilometres North East of Julia Creek on the Julia Creek -
Punchbowl Road near the Flinders River. 8 other raptors were also
seen in the area on the same day including a Peregrine and numerous Brown
Falcons, Nankeen Kestrel, Black Shouldered Kite, literally hundreds of
Black Kites, Whistling Kites, a Wedgetailed Eagle and a Spotted
Harrier.
