Zebra Finch
Redlynch, Cairns
Possible aviary escaped Zebra Finch feeding around Crystal Cascades Big4 holiday park.(Moderator Note:-This bird is leusistic, it has a normally colored eye but pale white plumage, albino birds have a pink eye. Leucism is a genetic mutation that prevents melanin from being deposited).

Pacific Golden Plover
Mungalla Station (Forrest Beach, Queensland)
One group of 30+ birds seen on the track out to the western end of the main lagoon. Another group of 60+ were seen about an hour later in an open grassy area at the eastern end of the lagoon. Not sure if it was two separate groups. Birds were very timid and not approachable.
