Species not reported as at 25/12

Why should the locals have all the fun? To give those of you who don't live in the Toowoomba area an incentive to report your sightings and strut your stuff, here's a challenge especially for you! 250 species collectively in a season. The survey area we'll make anywhere within 250 km of Toowoomba, but excluding the TBO survey area. I've set a higher, but very fair target as well. See how you go. Locals can help with the 'outside' tally too and vice versa. Looking forward to some new names on the forum!

The rain for the last 2 days has put a "dampener" on the birding, but can't complain about the rain. Had planned to go to Oxley Creek today but too wet. Shoveller and Stork sometimes there, and a Brown falcon.
