Leanyer Sewage Plant access, Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo and Christmas Island

G’day,

A few updates on Bird-O. We’ve tidied up the front page … thanks to all you who provided us with feed back. We’ll continue to improve the site and add information about Australian birding. Don’t forget to check back every few days and drop us a line if you’ve had an exciting birding experience. We’re always looking for short pieces by birders like you, who are passionate about Australian wildlife.

LEANYER SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT

The front page of Bird-O has an article about Leanyer Sewage Treatment plant by Chris Sanderson. This includes important information on the status of access arrangements. Leanyer is currently closed to birders but the operators are sympathetic to our needs and are considering options. Note, any birders accessing the site illegally could be subject to criminal prosecution.

CARNABY’S BLACK COCKATOO ‘ON A WING AND A PRAYER’

You can now access daily video updates ‘from the nest’ of the Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo film project – and enter the competition to name the chick. Follow the front page link for more information. A new video us uploaded every day.

CHRISTMAS ISLAND

It’s that time of the year – rarities are about to start appearing and Christmas Island always shows up something exciting. Check out the Forest Wagtail photos – a recent first for Australia found by Lisa Preston of Island Explorer Holidays. We’ve just started the Christmas Island pages but there is already information on when and where to go, who to go with etc. This will be enhanced over the coming weeks. If you have your own information to share about Christmas Island, follow the link in this page: http://bird-o.com/christmas-island-birding/

Regards,

Simon Mustoe and Chris Sanderson.
