Birdline North Queensland Published sightings for the week ending 16 Nov 2014. Fri 14 Nov Grey Wagtail Birthday Creek Falls – Paluma Range National Park One individual, non-breeding plumage, observed hopping upstream from the falls at approx. 10am. Bird was flighty and flew to low branches when initially approached, then continued upstream, maintaing a significant distance from us. One distant and heavily cropped photograph attached here to support the record. I note there is one previous record from the same location from 1993. April Boaden and David Hall Yellow Wagtail Mungalla Station–Forrest Beach, Queensland Very plain white and grey Wagtail beside Palm Creek pool near old stockyards today. Flighty. Lost bird after low flight across extensive wetlands. My first sighting of species this season. Tony Ashton Sun 9 Nov Pectoral Sandpiper Warri Park – Port Douglas Seen well in the wide section of the drain at the southern end of the lake just before it passes under the road – busy poking around in the mud by 2 observers at 6.15am.
