Tue 25 Jan Lewin's Rail Faust Road / Fairhill Rd, North Arm
Just spent a week on the Sunshine Coast where I caught up with no fewer than 7 LR's. At least 4 heard at the Peregian Section of Noosa NP (per Greg Roberts), 2 (1 flushed) at the Faust Road creek site (thanks to GR and Henry Nix who saw an adult with two chicks near the site) and one heard over 2 nights at Silky Oak Court at Ninderry in the creek at the bottom of the paddock! Seems the water has done some good.
