Dear All,
Thanks for anyone who sent me advice on the above. I will be doing my 10 day
trip starting from Mt Isa on Wednesday 16th April. The following is the basic
itinerary:
2 nights Mt Isa, trying for Carpentarian and Kalkadoon Grasswren, Spotted
Bowerbird and possibly Spinifexbird.
Head up to Lawn Hill (Adel's Grove) for Purple-crowned Fairy-wren and Sandstone
Shrike-thrush.
Then over to the gulf for 2 nights at Karumba - en route maybe Pictorella
Mannikin; around Karumba, Great-billed Heron (boat trip), Star Finch, Zitting
Cisticola. Hoping for Bar-breasted Honeyeater somewhere on the northern leg of
the trip.
Back to Cloncurry, then Winton, try for Hall's Babbler south of Winton.
Across Diamantina NP hoping for Gibberbird.
Grey Grasswren - try at Eyre Creek Crossing or maybe S of Birdsville (time
allowing).
Eyrean Grasswren - Big Red.
Then back to Mt Isa for the last night.
Other possibles:
Ground Cuckoo-shrike
Flock Bronzewing
Grey Falcon
Letter-winged Kite
Painted Honeyeater
Chestnut-breasted Quail-thrush
Varied Lorikeet
Arafura Fantail
Golden-backed Honeyeater
Any recent news on any of the above 25 or so species or additional details on
previous sightings would be highly appreciated at this stage.
Cheers & wish me luck!
Tim
