Birdline North Queensland

Published sightings for the week ending 15 May 2011.

Sun 15 May Wedge-tailed Eagle Little Mulgrave Valley, Gordonvale
One Wedge-tailed Eagle being mobbed by approx 150 Sulphur-crested Cockatoos. Unbelievable noise. No wonder we never see them here if this is the reception that they get.
