Hi everyone, I was up in Queensland yesterday on
business and checked out a place just off the freeway called Minnipi Wetlands
(the turnoff was just before the Gateway bridge going north).
Not sure if this place is regularly visited by
birders but in a quick 1 hour saw some interesting birds. These included many
Scarlet Honeyeaters singing and flitting around in a number of
areas throughout the parklands, a few Red-Backed Fairy Wren
with a brilliant male, a large number of Brown
Honeyeaters, a single Spangled Drongo, Golden
Cisticollas and a Tawny Grassbird seen singing in
scrub adjacent to the lake.
Not bad for a lunch stop!
Simon.
