The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period
Monday, February 20, 2012 to Sunday, February 26, 2012:
Area: SA
Date: Monday, February 20, 2012
Location: Magpie Swamp Rd Nr Tarpeena SE
Brolga (Grus rubicunda) (30) 30 Brolga in sheep paddock on north side of road,
although this species seems to be generally present around this location anyone
looking for Brolga in SA stands a good chance of a sighting. Talked to farmer
who allowed me access to his paddock to get some photos, he seems quite
amicable to birders and would most likely know where the birds are.

Date: Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Location: Pooginook Conservation Park
Malleefowl (Leipoa ocellata) (1) Malleefowl have not been seen in this reserve
for many years. I was surprised to see fresh diggings and footprints on an
older mound and then I saw a malleefowl about 15 metres away slowly walking
into the mallee. I checked another couple of old nest mounds a few kilometres
away and they had both been dug out in the last few days (since the last rain)
with fresh tracks and much activity. I do not know if this is from one or
several birds. Unfortunately there are many fox tracks in the park so predation
pressure will be high.
