Hello Birders,
My son and I have three days in Cairns between Friday 21st and Sunday the 23rd January next week, during which time we're hoping to locate a short list of birds we are yet to view.
>From e-bird I've identified a recent hotspot for each of these birds viz:
- Nordmand's Greenshank & Great-billed Heron - Nth & Sth ends of Cairns Esplanade (presumably at high tide)
-
Rufous Owl - Les Davie Park, Cairns Nth
-
Spotted Whistling-duck, Red Junglefowl & Guineafowl - Cattana Wetlands
-
Oriental Cuckoo & Cicadabird - Cairns Botanical Gardens
-
Ashy-bellied White-eye - Green Island
-
Australian Swiftlet - Nth & Sth ends of Cairns Esplanade, Cattana
Wetlands & Cairns Botanical Gardens
Also, Wandering Tattler, Barn Swallow & Red-rumped Swallow if in the Cairns area.
Any advice or other assistance to find these birds would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Martin
