David, I’ve sent you a small file image. If anyone else wishes to see it, would you mind if they contact you for a forwarding of the image? I’m still on the never-ending birding trip, with two birds to go before end of June to make my targeted ‘half-year’ species list of 700. I will be home for a week in mid July if anyone needs a big file image. BTW if anyone knows where I have best shot at Regent Bowerbird in Brisbane, please let me know (tonight!). Recent locations please. Isn’t there a cafe somewhere near Mt Glorious with tame birds? PS: Number 698 was Inskip Black-breasted BQ today, and I thought it worth mentioning somewhere that for some reason the area with ‘platelets’ appears to have shrunken, and I took hours, not the usual minutes to find a bird. Not sure if its the predomination of ferns and spreading Lantana, or if a cat has moved in, or if, as usual, I’m grasping for excuses. John W Hi John, that is very interesting. Have you put the photo online ? And if so what is the link to it. I’d be very interested in seeing it.

John We searched for and found the BBBQ at Inskip Point in April this year, focused on areas where the platelets were obvious, took us about 6 hours to get a good enough view of the bird.

John, You may be thinking about the Walkabout Creek establishment at the Gap (on the road through to Mt Nebo). They have a walk in aviary – you might like to ring to see if they have a RB. Regards, Laurie.
