White-eared Monarch & Emerald Dove (Kevin Williams)

Thanks to replenishing rains in the Lockyer Valley, we're well placed for a record haul in 2009. No excuses why we can't give 250 spp a real shake. Over to you ...

White-eared Monarch & Emerald Dove (Kevin Williams)

Post by Mick Atzeni »

Both these species seen and photographed by Kevin in Redwood Park (bottom end) 8/5/09.

Have seen a couple of the White-eared Monarch shots and they are absolutely magnificent!! A lifer for Kevin as well.

I think this is also the first May record locally for this species. Pat McConnell our Records Officer will be able to confirm this.

Emerald Dove's one we missed last year. Once a fairly regular species in Redwood, it is now seldom recorded there, or anywhere else in the local area.

Congratulations Kevin!
