I haven't come across any update on the vagrant gull, and since
Jumpinpin is not easy to get to, I decide to have a gander along the
Logan - Pimpama - Coomera deltas and the top end of the Broadwater,
just in case the gull had decided to move inboard. There was a general
paucity of gulls on the many loafing spots along the various shores,
north of the fleshpots of the Broadwater. I didn't see any gulls with
black heads - just a few terns with black caps.
I suspect if the bird is to be found, it will be from a boat cruising
the channels at the southern end of Moreton Bay.
The most interesting birding spot was a fenced turkey's nest [ring
tank] that had a multitude of egrets, kites, an immature sea eagle and
a 'jabiru'.
The depressing thing was the amount of expensive housing being built on
low lying floodplains [less than a metre above the high water mark].
Regards, Laurie.
