Hi all,
Last year we got weathered out – this year we are trying again to get out from Eaglehawk Neck for some pelagic birding. We will have some time to look for some specialties (see below). Thanks to everyone again who responded to a similar e-mail last year – Murray Lord, Andy Jensen, John Tongue, Bill Moorhead, Richard Baxter, Giles Daubeney (hope I didn’t forget anyone) Now my question again: Are there any recent sightings (especially around Hobart or Eaglehawk Neck) of the following?
Tasmanian Masked Owl Tasmanian Southern Boobook/Morepork
Swamp (Brown) Quail Scrubtit 40-spotted Pardalote (we will try Peter Murrell or – if necessary – Bruny Island) Eastern Barred Bandicoot (We will try Hobart Waterworks) Southern Bettong (We will try Hobart Waterworks)
Spot-tailed Quoll Less likely ones: (Little and Eastern Pygmy Possums) (Swamp Antechinus, White-footed Dunnart) Cheers,
Nikolas
