Far North Queensland observations

[Kingfisher Park Birdwatchers Lodge <>]

Hi Folks,
With the "Wet Season" (which we desperate need) approaching Pale-vented 
Bush-hen and Red-necked Crake have started to appear and call. Whether 
they leave the area or just go silent during the winter months we don't 
know.
Apartfrom hearing a bush-hen in August once we had no sightings or 
calling of either species over the winter months. Noisy Pitta have also 
been calling constantly day and night for at least the last month and 
are the noisiest we have heard them in seven years.
They are mainly calling from 5-20m up in the rainforest trees. Hopefully 
they will have a good breeding season after last years failure by two pairs.
