Birdline Central & Southern Queensland
Published sightings for the week ending 18 Jan 2015.
Fri 16 Jan Regent Bowerbird Mill Rainforest Trail
Came upon an active Regent Bowerbird bower and witnessed the courtship
ritual and copulation of a pair at the bower this morning. Light
conditions in the rainforest and the fact that the bower was well
hidden under overhanging foliage made for poor photographs.

Thu 15 Jan White-throated Nightjar Brisbane Forest Park--Bellbird Grove
One bird heard calling twice in quick succession, from the far side of
the open field, at about 8pm. The first time I've heard this species
here this summer (though presumably they've been kicking around for a
little while beforehand). An Owlet-nightjar and a Boobook (both regular
here) were also heard.

Fantastic views of a single bird perched low in a roadside eucalypt
about 2km from the Brisbane Forest Park Information Centre. Attached
mobile phone photo is the best we could manage.
