Satin Flycatcher and more

Post by Bill Jolly »

Apologies for taking some time to get to the new Forum.

I'll work from Wanted Lists on 2014 Challenge, Summer 2013/14 and Autumn 2014 to update sightings from Abberton (and elsewhere in the club's primary study area).

Recent Abberton sightings include a stunning female Satin Flycatcher yesterday afternoon (7 March 2014); Eastern Osprey, White-bellied Sea-eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Whistling Kites and Black Kites all at Abberton on the morning of Thursday 6 March; adult Black-eared Cuckoo and Little Bronze-cuckoo both here on 1 March (found by Michael Wood, welcome back to Queensland Michael!).
