Bush-hen
Fitzgibbon Bushland
Single Bush-hen seen by Cathy and I, less than 60 metres from busy Telegraph Road, Bracken Ridge . We flushed the bird at a little creek crossing near the entrance to the Fitzgibbon Bushland where we survey regularly. It stayed hidden in the long grass and undergrowth for a a bout 30 seconds but kept making a clicking noise. After 5 minutes or so it moved around and eventually emerged into more open area and gave us really good observations. It appeared agitated as though it wanted to get back to young so we left soon after.

A pair of Brolga at the small swamp alongside Volz Road near Toorbul. Not very common near Brisbane, although this is a known spot for them.

Powerful Owl
Spectacle Garden, Roma St Parklands, Brisbane
A large young looking specimen perched in the "poplars" adjacent the small fountain pool in the Spectacle Garden at 12.30 pm today. It had bright adult plumage [distinct chevrons visible to the naked eye] and was unsettled by the attentions of the lurking Butcherbirds. First time I have seen a PO adjacent to the Brisbane CBD.
I pointed the bird out to the volunteers in the info booth. I suspect the bird will probably move on tonight.
