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.

> 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> >
