Ground Parrot, Grass Owl, Lewin’s Rail, Bush-hen on Sunshine Coast

Nice birds seen or heard recently about the Sunshine Coast include Lewin’s Rail, Eastern Grass Owl and Eastern Ground Parrot at Castaways Beach in wallum heath. It was encouraging to hear three Ground Parrots calling including a possible pair in the remnant, endangered Sunshine Coast population on the Sunshine Coast. At Charlie Moreland Park in the hinterland, signs of an early breeding season were in evidence with the weather warming up quickly. Logrunners and Noisy Pittas in particular were very focal and aggressively staking out territories. In the home garden at Ninderry, a Pale-vented Bush-hen continues to hold court, calling vigorously in another unusually early indication of breeding activity.
