Just back from Ghana, if anyone wants a copy of the trip rep just
drop me a line; anyway, the good news is that Dad Cassowary at Black
Mountain Road, Kuranda is mended nicely, the bad gash on his hind leg
has healed well, the spraying with Betadine must have helped stave off
infection in that very wet period, and it is knitting up well. He and
the two chicks come in each day at some point and look well fed, glad
we did not have to resort to antibiotic stuffed rats as was mooted at
one point.
I saw a very nice Bush-hen on April 18 at the Barron River along Henry
Hannam Drive near Mareeba, the lush grass must really suit them. Lots
of Rainbow Bee-eaters heading north, and a few Silvereyes passing
through. Barred Cuckooshrikes, Pied Monarch and Noisy Pitta were just
calling off our deck, and Chowchillas are vocal at dawn, but Red-
necked Crake has been very subdued.
