Hi Chris,
This is the time of the year that Noisy Pittas move from their breeding
areas (?higher altitudes) to lowland areas. They often turn up in some
unusual locations on passage. Many of them are juveniles as evidenced by
the pink gape and general duller plumage.
Regards
Greg

A Noisy Pitta turned up in suburban Bellbowrie ( a suburb on the other side
of the river from Ipswich for those lucky enough not to be living in
Brisbane) this morning. Now according to the font of all family
ornithological wisdom, my mother, this is not a very common sighting for
these parts. Escapee, dispersing juvenile or Sydney first home buyer?
