Greetings,
sorry about the delay in responding. Not only is it peak season for Grus spp
on the Tablelands but peak tourist season and the main time for a call on my
services as a supply teacher.
Normally both cranes are back on the Tablelands by early May. Last year and
this they did not show until June. Except for a few brolgas which stayed
around on the northern Tablelands. Usually they depart about the end of
November but can be gone as early as the beginning of the month and as late
as mid January.
At Bromfield Swamp in the morning one can be assured of seeing both species.
Just south of the Curtain Fig there were 72 birds in the one paddock this
morning. They are wary of close approach so if wanting photography be
prepared to shoot from the car as you drive up. Otherwise all you'll get is
backsides!
Yellow-breasted Boat-bill and Pied Monarch are most regular sightings at the
Curtain Fig now. Bustards on Forsayth Rd and Fig-Parrots in the village
opposite the pub but in samll numbers; usually less than a dozen.
Regards,
Alan
