I have been back home at Black Mountain Road, Kuranda , Queensland
since Oct 24 and oddly for the time of year have heard almost no calls
from either Superb or Rose-crowned Fruit Doves. Today we had the big
Sunbird/Wings group visiting, again with virtually no calls from the
Ptilinopus doves, but during lunch from our veranda we picked up a
Rose-crowned Fruit Dove feeding in the myrtle which has just come into
fruit. This was swiftly followed by 2 male Superb Fruit Doves and 2
Wompoos, a very neat veranda trifecta. Yesterday we had a White-headed
Pigeon feeding there so clearly the word is out.
Probable sighting of a Swinhoe's Snipe at Hastie's Swamp also, this
from Terry Reis from Cairns, so if you are up there do check out the
snipe.
