It's all about the birds
Hi all
Just wondering if there were any location/ details of birds of this area (Bunya Mountains) NP ? Owls??
I’ve never been there Nd was curious if there’s any must see spots for birds at any of the campgrounds or surrounds…
Thanks
Kirri 😊

Thanks!

Hi Mike (and Birding-Aus folks too),
Just wanted to let you know that Sally and I had a very nicely sized flock of Fork-tailed (Pacific) Swifts with at least 200+ birds which included at least 3 or 4 White-throated Needletails on Sunday 7/02/21 at approx. 8am.
It was very difficult to get a handle on total numbers of birds given that we were viewing from the road within rainforest, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was at least 1000 or 2000 birds all up – too hard to say, but an absolute minimum count would be 200…
We were on the Lake Morris Rd at about 300mtrs asl just west of Cairns…
Cheers,

I guess the case off the Brown Streaked Flycatcher at Sandfire Roadhouse would qualify as one of the biggest megas in Australian birding history (given its rareness in its native range).
It is a fascinating story if you haven’t come across it:

Hi All,
For those interested, here’s a video created in December 2020 by the excellent videographer Stuart Cohen of Bottlebrush Media, focussed on the drought recovery actions underway in Macquarie Marshes wetland system, featuring many great birds! 😊

King Island is a magical birding spot.

Social events include a Welcome and Registration gathering on Thursday 22nd April, a dinner with guest speaker/s on Saturday 24th April and a Threatened Species search on Sunday 25th a.m (TBC).
Note: Visitors arriving on Sharpe direct Hobart-King Island morning flight on Friday 23rd, registration will take place at the airport.

Dear All,
I am trying to add more tutorial videos to my Youtube channel… I made
a short video for 10 tips on bird photography:
It is mainly aimed at beginners, so I expect it will be a little
elementary for most of the people on this list, but if you have a few
minutes, I would greatly appreciate any constructive criticism if you
think anything could be improved!
Bonus points if you can spot the two Australian birds in the video….
Thanks a lot,
Sincerely,
Jason
