Hi Andrew,
We have been keeping records of arrivals and departures of Buff-breasted
Paradise-Kingfisher since 1994 for Kingfisher Park, Cairns with a few
Daintree records. The previous earliest record was 18th October at
Kamerunga in Cairns and 19th October at Kingfisher Park Birdwatchers Lodge.
Others may have earlier records that we don't know about. So the arrival
this year at the Lodge on the 16th is 2 days early than previous
records. The last two years they have not arrived until the 11th and
18th November. The record from Mission Beach may have been one of the
birds heading further south to Mackay and Byfield N.P. It would be
interesting to find out the arrival dates at these places. More
information is on our blog for this week.

Hi all
I'm told the first one was seen in Mission Beach last Thursday. Is that
early or late?
Regards
Andrew
