By Birding-Aus, on April 27th, 2017 Hi,
My son and I are planning to drive up to Terrick Terrick, leaving Saturday afternoon and returning Sunday evening. If there’s a father-child combo who wants to share, could be an ideal fit. We’ll be camping/spotlighting on Saturday night and obviously attempting to look for mutant Black-shouldered Kites. Call me on 0405220830.
Regards,
Simon.

By Birding-Aus, on April 27th, 2017 Hi All,
I’m planning taking a week off to go birding in July while the missus is away (hiking Kokoda).
Ideally I’m thinking a driving trip from Sydney, but could also fly somewhere if it’s worth it.
Currently thinking either:

By peter, on April 26th, 2017 Yesterday Dan Ashdown and Owen Lishmund reported a Letter-winged kite at Terrick Terrick NP in Victoria (see Birdline below). Apparently it was with 6 Black-shouldered Kites. Question – is it unusual to have so many Black-shouldered Kites together? I don’t think I’ve seen more than a couple.
Hoping this bird is the first of many.

By Birding-Aus, on April 25th, 2017 Hi, I have put my name down for a trip to West Papua in August, which needs 7 people to go ahead – so far just 2 – hence my post. If you would like a chance for up to 9 Birds of Paradise species, see Link to brochure below.

Only a couple of complaints (we all can not be perfect). a) the distribution maps a bit small and the associated subspecies notations difficult to read (because of . . . → Read More: The Australan Bird Guide

By Birding-Aus, on April 24th, 2017 So agree with your conclusion, Phil. Looking at the spread of a genus illustrated across a page (or so) along with species maps is such an absorbing pleasure, the sheer brilliance of it !
