| Fri 13 Dec | Eastern Yellow Wagtail Mungalla Station (Forrest Beach, Queensland) Pair Eastern Yellow Wagtail on lower grazing area this morning. One dull white breasted, other blotchy yellow breast and belly. Much driving to relocate birds and get distant pictures of yellow breast bird after first spotting them. Tony Ashton |
| Wed 11 Dec | White-winged Black Tern Tyto Wetlands, Ingham Observations made 7:10 AM – 8:40 AM. White-winged Black Tern (4) hawking over main wetland. 2-3 also seen along Masters Road lagoons, Toobanna. Uncommon near Ingham. Alexandra Canton |
| Mon 9 Dec | Common Sandpiper Lake Evan,(Brady Road Swamp) Mareeba Common Sandpiper (1) Foraging on muddy northern edge of swamp, first for this site recorded on Eremaea Birds.. Keith & Lindsay Fisher |
| Sun 17 Nov | Buff-breasted Paradise-Kingfisher 950metres above sea level, Mt Lewis Apologies for this late posting – One adult bird (looked like a male) flew across road 10mtrs ahead of me when birding with Judy Leitch. As far as I’m aware this is the highest altitude for this species to be recorded on Mt Lewis. (Moderator Note:- There has been a few sightings at this altitude over the past 3-4 years, presumable adults moving through as there are no termite mounds for nesting in at this altitude).
