Birdline Central & Southern Queensland
Published sightings for the week ending 12 Oct 2014.
Sun 12 Oct Square-tailed Kite Samford Conservation Park
Good views of a Square-tailed Kite flying low over the canopy (heading
north-east) along The Chute, at approx. 4.30 pm. STKs are occasionally
seen around Keperra and Ferny Grove, but thought it to be worth noting
as a record for Samford CP.

Two nests of Apostlebirds discoverd with 2 attending adults to each. .
One nest had 3 chicks and the other was under construction. I won't
post the specific location, but this relect population seems to be
doing OK.

white-winged Triller Mountain View Court, Samford Valley
A spot I had White-winged Triller the past two years has turned them up
again this year. At the corner of Wight's Mtn Road and Mountain View
Ct. just a few K's from the Samford 'cbd'. Also in this area are good
numbers of Little Friarbirds, a family of Grey-crowned Babblers and
goods numbers of Striated and Rainbow Beeeaters nesting in the sandy
banks.

Thu 9 Oct Nankeen Kestrel Orange Grove Rd / Kessels Rd intersection,
Salisbury
I was surprised to see a Kestrel hovering above the road this morning
on my way to uni. Occasionally I will see Black-shouldered Kites in
this area, but this is the first Kestrel I've seen. Perhaps it followed
the Rocky Waterholes creekline from the Oxley Creek Common area or the
Brisbane Golf Club. Archerfield Airport is also nearby as the Kestrel
flies... :)
