Subject: Birdline Northern Territory Weekly Update
Birdline Northern Territory
Published sightings for the week ending 5 Jan 2014.
Sun 5 Jan Black-breasted Buzzard Alice Springs
One bird located on the Ross Highway approx. 30 kms from AS. It was feeding on
road kill. In flight the bird had large white 'windows' near the point of its
wing and displayed a short tail, supported by photos and thus eliminating the
potential of a young wedgie.

Fri 3 Jan Western Bowerbird Olive Pink Botanical Gardens, Alice Springs
I realise that this species is not uncommon around this area but to sit and be
witness to the courtship display and interaction between the male and female
for 20 minutes was something special. I could not believe the antics the male
used! I wish i had filmed it! It gave a great insight into bowerbird behaviour.
A truly amazing experience only metres away hiding in a bush.
