hi folks,
Eight Freckled Ducks were on the tailings dam at Mt. Carbine, near
Julatten on Saturday June 4. Also two Great-crested Grebes and a couple
of Australasian Reed Warblers singing in reeds.
There was a single female White Pygmy-goose at the water impoundment
along Cobra Road off Tinaroo Creek Road near Mareeba, and at least 4
Black-throated Finch nearby, with Squatter Pigeon along the road by the
Smith property.
A good count of Aus Bustards on a newly cut field along East Mary Road,
with 44 birds in the field and two on the opposite side of the road,
with a further 8 on burnt ground by the main highway. One of the farms
here is for sale so we can only hope it goes into eco-friendly hands,
this is a very significant bustard area for sure.
Good birding
