Considering a 5 day trip to Darwin over Christmas week. Looks like the wet is on for young and old so it may be not very practical to travel. Up to date advice would be appreciated especially:
1) Access to Leanyer Sewage Treatment plant 2) Access to Fogg Dam 3) Car security at both places, Buffalo Creek and elsewhere. 4) Any interesting birds around.
We hope to see a good selection of these but would particularly appreciate locations for the asterisked species:
Rufous Owl * Barking Owl Eastern Grass Owl * Large-tailed Nightjar Varied Lorikeet Northern Rosella * Rainbow Pitta Chestnut Rail White-browed Crake Bush-hen * Oriental Cuckoo * Zitting Cisticola * Green-backed Gerygone Banded Honeyeater Silver-crowned Friarbird Yellow-rumped Mannikin * Pictorella Mannikin *
Cheers
