G’day I had the pleasure of an hour or two with the Aleutian Terns at Old Bar yesterday. I was travelling from Sydney to Brisbane, and it was no difficulty to divert the dozen km off the highway. The terns were remarkably settled and very tolerant of people. They only took to the air while . . . → Read More: Aleutian Terns – A BARC Question Is there anyone out there who is familiar with the calls of Black Bittern?

I was checking out the site from 5:15pm-6pm yesterday, and it was nice to see it still there – I was beginning to think that it had moved on elsewhere having not seen . . . → Read More: ONE RED-RUMPED SWALLOW with+/-20 Barn Swallows at Lower Daintree FNQ yesteday Yesterday and today, January 3 and 4, two GREENFINCHES singing/ calling, from Willow and Monterey pines. First sighting for at least ten years. Also a locally unusual WHISTLING KITE gliding overhead today, much to the consternation of a single YTBlack Cockatoo feeding in a row of pines, which flew out screaming.

Just a . . . → Read More: Birds as predators Following on the interesting observation of Logrunners, I’m sure there are quite a few species not regarded as predators that welcome a bit of extra protein when available. A friend of mine regularly monitors the nests of Superb Fairy-wrens on his property. He has had to resort to building cages of chicken-wire around the nests . . . → Read More: Birds as predators Happy New Year!

I have been watching them since 07.40 and it is now 08.15 and small groups of 10-20 to feed at eye-level in front of our balcony – we happen to be . . . → Read More: White-throated Needletails |
