Trip Report – Brisbane Area

Hi again,

Following my trip to Cairns I spent about 2 days birding around Brisbane from 20-22 Oct. Highlights were as follows:

Boondall Wetlands – Mangrove Honeyeater, Collared Kingfisher and Mangrove Gerygone. Daisy Hill Koala Centre – Square-tailed Kite Mt Tamborine – NO Albert’s Lyrebirds, despite about 3 hours of searching Lamington NP (O’Reilly’s) – Paradise Riflebird, Regent Bowerbird, Green Catbird, Rose Robin, fleeting glimpses of Albert’s Lyrebird, Marbled Frogmouth, Australian Owlet-Nightjar Duck Creek Rd – Red-browed Treecreeper, Bell Miner, Spotted Quail-Thrush, Buff-rumped Thornbill

Most frustrating was not getting good looks at the lyrebirds, after having seen four birds at Mt Tamborine only a few weeks ago. Does anyone know if there is some sort of seasonal movement there? Otherwise I got most of the target birds. If anyone wants any info on sites or specific birds, please let me know.

Cheers and good birding!
