Old Bar, Myall Lakes and Coff’s Harbour area.

Evening all,

Just wondering if anyone would be able to share any information on the Beach Stone-curlew at Old Bar, the Radjah Shelduck at Myall Lakes and if there are any sites south of Coff’s Harbour that are any good for Brolga and Jacanas? I’ve got a weekend’s birding pass from the very kind Mrs and I’d heard that these species were around in those areas. All apart from the Radjah Shelduck would be lifers (even then, we only got a fleeting view from a coach window near Port Douglas…) and I’m rather keen to see them all as there’s a chance we might be moving abroad in the near future.

Also (and on a somewhat unconnected subject), is it common to see nearly full-grown Koel chicks at this time of year? We saw a pair of Red Wattlebirds feeding one that appeared to have fledged at the top of our road yesterday.

Thanks in advance for any information!

Tony
