Hi Folks,
A few interesting sightings: A Great-billed Heron was foraging along
Bushy Creek at our Platypus viewing spot in the Lodge grounds, 4 Cotton
Pygmy-goose are still in a lagoon along nearby McDougall Road, Julatten
and some have also been seen on Lake Mitchell (between Mt. Molloy and
Mareeba) and an overwintering Black-faced Monarch has been seen most
weeks in our grounds. Blue-faced Parrot-finch are being regularly found
in Julatten but what is interesting with them is that two very juvenile
birds have been with at least four adults - it was thought that they
mainly breed in the wet season at higher altitudes December to March
although we did see a juvenile some years ago on Mt. Lewis in October. A
surprise last week was a calling Cicadabird at a time of the year when
they are normally absent. More info on these sightings and other
sightings can be found on our blog.
Cheers,
Keith & Lindsay.
