Thanks for all those helpful people in regard for my quest in seeking the golden bower bird. Alas the rain has dampened my efforts, so I have left the highlands and headed to Eubenangee swamp. Again the rain today was so heavy the walk was left uncompleted but on the way back to the hwy I was rewarded by a flock of crimson finches feeding in and around the sugar cane fields. Further along both the chestnut and nutmeg mannikans spotted. I’m now camped at the boulders with a sunbird nest right next door. My trip thus far has been so rewarding with over 70 new birds and races sighted. Not to mention the barking owl roosting in the top shelf of the shed belonging to the timber merchants in Atherton.
