G'day from FNQ,
About 15 Fork-tailed Swifts, 40 White-throated Needletails and 200
White-rumped Swiftletts feeding west of Tarzalli this morning. Smaller
numbers (?15%?) of the three species near the Nerada Tea Plantation and just
Swiftletts at Lammonds Hill to the east.
Blue-faced Parrot-Finches are present but difficult to see along Gourka
Road, Butchers Creek. The most we saw in one place was three. They are
really skulking.
There was fresh lichen on the Golden Bowerbird bower but no bird this
morning while we were there. Tooth-bills are still calling but loosing
interest. Riflebirds have stopped displaying.
Bowers Shrike-thrush nesting between the Curtain Fig and the exit to the
boardwalk.
Fifty plus Red-tailed Black Cockatoos near the strawberry farm east of
Atherton on the Gillies Highway.
Regards,
Alan Gillanders
