Hi All,
A quick update from Cocos Islands . Have been here three and a half days with one and two half days on West Island , a day on Home Island and an afternoon on South Island .
Bird numbers seem down on previous trips this season but we have still had some good sightings.
Japanese Sparrowhawk – two definite (immature female and adult) and one very probable (adult male) on West Island .
Chinese Sparrowhawk – 1 adult on West Island
Asian Koel – a male and female on Home Island .
Asian Brown Flycatcher – one on West Island (new bird for Cocos and first record for any Australian territory away from Ashmore Reef)
Saunders Tern – 10 on South Island
Common Teal – the long staying bird is still present on West Island
Watercock – at least 6 brown birds along the edge of the airstrip on West Island .
Dollarbird – one on West Island
Cheers,
Adrian ===============================
