Anstead Bushland Reserve - SW Brisbane

[Nick Leseberg <>]

Hi All,

Managed a few hours at Anstead Bushland Reserve on the SW edge of Brisbane this 
morning, and had a couple of notable sightings.

Red-winged Parrot - I was surprised to see this one. I thought it was probably 
an aviary escapee, but then thought it was a slim possibility as a wild bird. 
Any thoughts?
Painted Buttonquail - a single bird.

Everything else I saw was the usual more common stuff, with still plenty of 
Scarlet Honeyeaters, White-throated Honeyeaters, White-throated Gerygone, Rose 
Robin, Tawny Grassbird, Golden and Rufous Whistlers, Apostlebirds, Noisy and 
Little Friarbirds, Little Lorikeets and King Parrots inspecting hollows. Not 
sure spring has sprung quite yet, but it's well on its way.

Regards and good birding
