Hi Everyone,
Posted this sighting on eremea but thought I'd put it on here, too. Went to
Girraween NP on 30 January - a really hot day! At about 2 pm, found a female
Spotted Quail-thrush down the Robertson's Hole walking track about 50 metres
from the Underwater Creek junction. It was feeding close to the track on the
right hand side (heading down towards the water hole) and then flew over onto
the other side of the track. This was a new Queensland bird for me and a lifer
for Peter - he missed the first sighting of it, but then picked it up on the
left hand side by following the contact call. We assume the male was near by
but, because we were on a tight time frame, we did not go after it.
Also had great views of Turquoise Parrots near the Pyramid Rock Winery on the
Old Wallangarra Road. The place was also teeming with Brown Treecreepers -
always nice to see in this part of Queensland, and Peter got a fleeting glimpse
of a Diamond Firetail.
Regards
