It is interesting how Channel-billed Cuckoos are
being heard around Sydney. I have not heard or seen any around Brisbane
despite being out extensively over the past couple of weeks. However our
Sacred Kingfishers are back here at suburban Nundah just 6 km north of the city
(Brisbane) centre. Some Sacred KFs stay around all year in this area but
the great majority of them head north to warmer climates during
winter.
On a different note, I have just returned from
filming a segment with Channel 7's "The Great South-East" promoting bird
watching and good areas to see birds around Brisbane. Let's hope that it
gets more people out there enjoying our wonderful birds and involved in
conserving their habitats !!
Cheers
