I saw a Rose-crowned Fruit-dove during my lunch break
yesterday at Red Beach,
Bribie Island. I was hoping against hope
to find a Superb Fruit-dove, but still pretty chuffed about good views of a
male Rose-crowned perched on a low branch.
I also saw a flycatcher, which appeared to me to be a male
Satin Flycatcher, especially in full sunlight. I’ve seen plenty of
Leaden Flycatchers in similar coastal habitats, but this bird seemed much
darker, with none of the “leaden” sheen when perched in the
sunlight.
If anyone happens to visit Red Beach
and picks up Satin Flycatcher here, please let me know.
Cheers,
