I spent yesterday checking out remnant lowland rainforest patches in the Kin
Kin area, just north of the Sunshine Coast, and was surprised to see how
widespread and common fairy gerygones were. While known from this region for
many years, the species is regarded as scarce in southeast Queensland, but
in recent years it appears to have spread southwards in coastal vine
thickets to Bribie Island. Of interest was the complete absence of brown
gerygones around Kin Kin, although the species is common in coastal
rainforests a short distance south.
Also widespread around Kin Kin were white-eared monarchs, another scarcity
in southeast Queensland, and there were good numbers of regent bowerbirds
about.
