Great excitement here yesterday,
{Bowra, Cunnamulla, S.W.Qld.} a Painted Snipe at the little
lagoon at the quarters.
We've added 3 new species here in the last few
weeks, Fuscous Honeyeater, Gilbert's Whistler and the P.
Snipe. Ian's personal list is over 200, {compiled over 30 years} but the
one we've been compiling from visitors sightings for 5 years has now reached
196.
Great views of a pair of Grey Falcons in
the last week as well as Ground Cuckoo- shrikes and Black-eared
Cuckoos. A flock of about 12 Bourke's Parrots seen during the week
as well.
Watched Mallee Ringnecks entice their
fledglings out of a hollow in a tree at our back door. The female making
beautiful soft little sounds as she tried to lure them out.
Julie.
