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.
