G=92day
I spent a couple of days on the Bunya Mts (Qld) last week. Although it was=
school holiday time, the campgrounds weren=92t packed on week nights, and =
the walking tracks were fairly quiet away from the Dandabah hot spots. The=
dawn choruses were pretty good, with the pittas and riflebirds calling reg=
ularly.
Yesterday morning, I was out before the noisy crowd and looked up while pas=
sing through the well known fig (a few hundred metres from Dandabah). Whil=
e there were no telltale droppings on the boardwalk through the tree, a Soo=
ty Owl (as featured on the info board inside the tree) was quietly roosting=
on an internal branch about 15 metres up. I was surprised to see it, give=
n that hundreds of people would have passed through the tree on a daily bas=
is that week.
I imagine that most people pass through the tree without noticing the bird =
and it has become accustomed to people so that it doesn=92t flush. I think=
that as long as people don=92t shine lights at it or use call playback, th=
at bird might be a reliable feature there. I was certainly able to get goo=
d photos without using a flash at 8 am.
Regards, Laurie.
