I forgot to add - I am also keen to try and track down the White-headed race of 
the Varied Sittella, so if anyone can suggest a location for that within the 
same vicinity it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

> Next month I will be heading up to Brisbane for my sisters wedding and I have 
promised my Dad for his 70th birthday that I would take him on a trip for a few 
days to try and pick up a few species he is missing off his list. Of course 
they are all the usual suspects around SEQ that are usually quite hard to see. 
I also have a few sites in northern NSW (where he lives) to try and pick up a 
few of the species as well.> The list of species is:> Black-breasted 
Button-quail> Red-backed Button-quail (this is one I am after as well)> Cotton 
Pygmy-goose> > Brown-headed Honeyeater (though I am hoping to track this one 
down near Mildura in the next few days)> Mangrove Honeyeater> Little 
Bronze-cuckoo> Tawny Grassbird> Eastern Grass Owl> Masked Owl> Sooty Owl> Fairy 
Gerygone> Shining Flycatcher> Black Bittern> Green Pygmy-goose> Lemon-bellied 
Flycatcher> Obviously some of these are harder than others (and a few are nigh 
on impossible in SEQ). Hopefully he will head up north soon and pick up a few 
of the ones we miss.> I have gone through the archives and have roughly planned 
an itinerary as follows, though I am unsure whether we will have my Outback or 
his motor home:> Day 1 Murwillumbah to the Lockyer Valley (Gatton) maybe as far 
as Kingaroy> Day 2 Travel to Inksip Point/Rainbow Beach/Great Sandy NP> Day 3 
Same araea and maybe to somewhere just north of Brisbane (or possibly the 
Conodales)> Day 4 Travel back to Murwillumbah via Brisbane and a few sites 
(Samsonvale, Wynnum, etc.)> I also may have another chance in Brisbane later in 
the week when we are back up there for the wedding.> Any recent info on any of 
these species and potential sites would be greatly appreciated (also on the 
feasability of this trip).> Cheers,> Peter> >
