Hello All,
Spent a couple of hours this morning birding the entrance road to Gold Creek Reservoir, west of Brisbane.
It was a productive morning, and I eventually found a couple of White-eared Monarchs, the specialty at this site. I also saw a pair of Spectacled Monarchs and there were several Black-faced Monarchs around as well for the trifecta. Next best bird was a lone Yellow-eyed Cuckoo-Shrike, as well as Cicadabird and Varied Triller, while a Shining Bronze-Cuckoo was heard calling initially and finally seen. Amongst other more common birds recorded were Spangled Drongos, Pied Currawong, Noisy Friarbird, Fan-tailed Cuckoo, Spotted Pardalote, Bell Miner and an Azure Kingfisher along one of the creeklines. An enjoyable start to the day.
Cheers and good birding!
