By Birding-Aus, on March 26th, 2019 Hi all, I've been contacted by a birder who wants to spend a few days around Mt Isa with me looking for Grasswrens and other key targets. He's looking for someone to share the trip. Dates are 8-11 October. Please contact me privately if you're interested. It should be a great short trip.

By Birding-Aus, on March 23rd, 2019 I came across of a family of Banded Lapwings in a paddock near Avalon Airport and the WTP consisting of two adults and two half grown young indicating a late January laying date.

By Birding-Aus, on March 21st, 2019 Management plans to bring the Night Parrot back from the brink will need to be revamped and the birding community is set to be deeply divided after Australia's biggest private conservation group controversially dismissed a raft of records of the critically endangered bird claimed by north Queensland naturalist John Young.

By Birding-Aus, on March 20th, 2019 The Arid Lands is a great spot for birds, native plants, ( including a small nursery ) plus cafe/coffee shop and giftshop. We always drop in en route to the North, nowadays usually for coffee.
Some years ago we found, among others, REDTHROAT there after dipping elsewhere, ELEGANT PARROT, and at the Northern end of . . . → Read More: Birding-Aus Digest, Vol 65, Issue 13

By Birding-Aus, on March 18th, 2019 I had the miserable experience of coming upon a Little Raven in the midst of killing and eating a very young Greylag gosling. So much yellow down strewn about on the ground, I mistook it for fur from a weird possum. Death by pecking; memorably horrid.

By Birding-Aus, on March 18th, 2019 Last summer a Grey Butcherbird bit off one leg of our Canary after squeezing in between the cage and it’s protective screen, then strangled trying to get out. The Canary kept singing after a week or two, adapted well and now hops and flaps around on one foot as if nothing had happened. Stopped . . . → Read More: Grey Butcherbird and Singing Canary
