Hi there,
I will be in Cairns for business Sat & Sun. Sat morning I may have some time for some birding. I heard of a couple of Red-necked Crakes in the Botanical Garden area – is there an update? Also I believe that last winter there were some Rufous Owls in town – any news this year? Are currently Little Kingfishers around in the Botanical Garden area? Has the Laughing Gull finally departed?
Cheers,
Nikolas

Hi Frank, The tree the rufous owl hangs out in is indeed a massive fig tree, and it sounds like you have the right one. To confirm, look here: https://twitter.com/DanHoops/status/631287924839964672 Dan

Nikolas, The Crakes usually go quite at this time of year but they are there. I’ve had reports of Little Kingfishers along the creek at the gardens. No news has reached my ears of the Rufous Owls.
I’ll be in Cairns on Sunday evening as I fly out to PNG on Monday morning. Regards, Alan

Hi Nikolas,
have a look at the following, which I sent out in March – should give you local updates. Lovely place, enjoy. Cheers, Peter Madvig ——————– “…..take a look at http://www.birdingcairns.blogspot.com — John Seale and the Cairns birdos welcome visitors on their outings and can help with local info.”…….
