   Topknot Pigeon Kewarra Beach(Cairns)
   About 25 Topknot Pigeon flying relatively low above Captain Cook
   Highway; probably coming from the Paradise Palms golf course area.
   Possibly seen two days ago in the same area, but it was then too far
   for safe ID. Also on same day seen the first return of roughly 20 Pied
   Imperial Pigeons.

   Emu seen on Webb Rd which is a public rd, just over Major Creek on the
   Woodstock-Giru Rd. 1 Emu seen this evening but recently 4 have been
   seen eating small red berries in paddock where small crops have been
   grown. Possibly the same small group reported previously from Quigley
   Rd 2013.
