Will keep an eye out for the wrens and rail during my next visit.
I spotted a couple of bush stone-curlews ( thick knees )just after Xmas day
close to the entrance of the Parklands from Albert Street. Large as life and
willing to be photographed!
If you are interested in the shots, I posted them onto the Aust. Bird Image
Database ( Aviceda ).
The birdlife in the CBD parklands is very promising now that there is so
much shrub growth in the area.

I saw a trio of what appeared to be female superb wrens in the
spectacle garden at the Roma St Parklands - the first fairy wrens that
I've seen in a Brisbane CBD location [albeit on the fringe of the CBD].
There was a buff-banded rail lurking behind them in a flower bed. It
is always interesting to see the "ground" birds adapting to the inner
city. It also interesting to work out how the little chaps made their
way to the park - probably along a corridor to the north ...
Regards, Laurie.
