Spent a couple of hours this morning at Sheep Station Creek Environmental Park SW of Caboolture. This site has had Swift Parrot in recent years so is worthy of a winter visit .Alas, none seen today, with not many eucs. in blossom. However was rewarded with a small flock (6) of Musk Lorikeet, as well as the usual Rainbow and Scaly-breasted. The resident Fuscous Honeyeaters were there along with Lewin’s (of course), Scarlet,Little Wattlebird, Noisy and Little Friarbirds. Crested Shrike-tit was a bonus, as were 3 White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, but best bird was a single Painted Button-quail seen briefly ahead of me on a narrow path in dappled light.
