Dear All,
Thanks to everyone who provided information concerning Girraween National
Park and surrounds.
The weather was not kind to us this weekend just gone, somewhat limiting
birding hours, but we did manage some target species. SCARLET ROBINS were
in no short supply in the area, first sighted around Sugarlof, to the east
of Girraween, but also good numbers around the information hut/ranger's
station in the park itself. We had two sightings of SPOTTED QUAIL-THRUSH,
the first along the road on the very eastern edge of the park and the
second, some 20 metres along the Junction Track after the track's junction
with the path to Granite Arch. Very satisfying views of a single
CHESTNUT-RUMPED HEATHWREN were had at the very end of the Junction Track.
WHITE-EARED HONEYEATERS were seen around the main car-park, YELLOW-TUFTED
HONEYEATERS along the Junction Track, and a LITTLE EAGLE just outside the
park on the eastern side.
The trip was nicely wrapped up with a BLACK FALCON on the way back to
Brisbane near Killarney.
Thanks again to those who gave tips and information.
Cheers, Pete Kyne and Plaxy Barratt.
