Help finding birds around Cairns

Hello Birders, My son and I have three days in Cairns between Friday 21st and Sunday the 23rd January next week, during which time we’re hoping to locate a short list of birds we are yet to view.

5 January, 5 birds on yearlist

5 January, 5 birds on yearlist!

Just this morning I heard a small flock of House Sparrows muttering near a house where the birds always are few, not too far from my home in Tromsø, N. Norway. This was year bird nr 5 on my list. As usual these last years, the . . . → Read More: 5 January, 5 birds on yearlist

Are Green Rosellas more likely to be right-footed?
