Pallid Cuckoo -Handley Rd., Darling Heights -7/4/2006

In 2006, we set up the inaugral Challenge to see if we could collectively record 250 species during the year in the club's survey area. How did we go? Extremely well considering the drought... Plenty of unusual and rare birds .... some great records from non-members too. It was a fascinating year. And a worthwhile exercise which we encourage other groups to follow. See for yourself...

Post by Michael Wood »

Last Friday (sorry about the belated nature of this one) a Pallid Cuckoo was seen roosting on power lines at the eastern end of Handley Road, Darling Heights, not far from the university campus.[/b]

It's a good record for uprange - I can't recall seeing one in Toowoomba and I doubt few have.

Unfortunately, it's not a newie for the Challenge. Rod Hobson got one 20 March on the Lower Flagstone Ck Rd. One things for sure, they've been scarce as hen's teeth this season.
