We’re putting out up to 40 geolocators this summer (starting this week), and hope to deploy satellite trackers next year. There are also regular counts and leg-flagging . . . → Read More: Latham’s Snipe project and migration The Satin Bowerbird is among the most common birds in my garden in southern Canberra (but that is a day trip up and back from where it seems that you are). That is typical of every year for the last about 15 to 20 years from winter through to early spring.

Just a quick update: with already maybe around 80 trip species, the wishlist has diminished impressively! Thank you all for the help I have been getting already. But one bogey we still have: Satin Bowerbird. If anyone knows an active and accessible bower within the Southern Highlands area, we would be very grateful. . . . → Read More: Back from Finland to Australia, NSW: Sydney, Moss Vale, Parkes etc. Good birds seen during a campout at Goomburra in Queensland’s Main Range National Park included Masked Owl, Glossy Black Cockatoo and Albert’s Lyrebird, while Turquoise Parrot was picked up further south on the Old Wallangarra Road.
