Greetings,
the Tyto Info Centre in Ingham is now open. the displays are almost
finished. On entering the building one is confronted by a beautiful
oversized copper version of a Grass Owl. The displays talk a lot about
birders as well as the birds of the district. I encourage you all to drop in
to find out the latest info and to update the volunteers on what you see so
it can be passed on to others.
Birds Australia North Queensland Group had their AGM on the weekend and
combined it with the opening function and a bit of bird watching. The lists
below were compiled by Elna Kerswell of Townsville and I have added a
couple.
Regards,
Alan
