G'day Birders, last Friday (May 2nd) I saw several thousand flock bronzewings along the Mitchell Hwy between Cunnamulla and Charleville. They seemed to be coming in to drink at the borrow pits along the side of the road, others were seen feeding on the road. The conditions here are drying out after a clearly good season with lots of high grass still with plenty of seed.

There were also lots of raptors, including lots of Spotted Harriers, but was unable to find any Grey Falcons or Letter winged kites, but they must surely be in the area.

This was about the 6th location for this species over the last 4 weeks of travelling, but was by far the largest number of birds.

Cheers
Graham Turner
