Del Richards discovered Blue-faced Parrot-Finches last month in a large bamboo overhanging Perseverance Road in Julatten, North Queensland. I went there with him and Kay Parkin the next day and they appeared again, eating the bamboo seeds. There were only a few, along with a small group of Red-browed Finches. George Chapman saw them there even more recently. Nice to see such a hard-to-find species out in the open.

Hi Folks, Further to Jim’s note about Blue-faced Parrot-Finches, they are no longer at the location they were seen at a month ago, they are now being seen on Mt. Lewis at the 10km clearing and the track to the old tin miners dam. They are still in small numbers with 4 being the maximum, three were seen yesterday 2nd December.
Regards, Keith & Lindsay.
