RFI Banded Fruit-dove and Partridge Pigeion
By John Weigel, on June 17th, 2014
Hi folks, Just a net cast for any recent (fortnight at most) for Banded Fruit-doves and/or Partridge Pigeon, as traditional sites aren’t working for me. Gorge fig trees don’t seem to be in fruit – so not sure if the Banded fruties go somewhere else? If you have recent info for either these two birds, please email me PDQ – I’m itching to leave the Top End, but cannot believe how much trouble these two are giving me! jweigel@reptilepark.com.au John Weigel _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org
Right on Martin, I forgot to mention the coffee! There’s not much fruiting at this time of year so Banded Fruit-dove is rather hit or miss.

hi John, have u tried Gubara yet for the fruit-dove?? u could get the Partridge P at Surveyors Pool on Mitchel Plateau when looking for Black GWren too…not recent sightings, but sites to definitely hit if u hadn’t planned to… …or u could always pop into Denise’s place for a coffee!!! cheers martin cachardcairns _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org
Hi John, It’s probably out of date info now – certainly not in the last 2 weeks! – but back in late Feb I saw around 18 Partridge Pigeons on the road to Gunlom in the Southern end of Kakadu. By the end of the drive to Plum Tree Creek they were trash birds! Good luck, Ed Ed Williams _______________________________________________ Birding-Aus mailing list Birding-Aus@birding-aus.org To change settings or unsubscribe visit: http://birding-aus.org/mailman/listinfo/birding-aus_birding-aus.org
