Folks,
Terry Reis and I have just returned from a very pleasant and productive morning's birding in the Lockey Valley where we added six species to the TBO's "Autumn Beyond" list, as follows:
1 x Azure Kingfisher, 2 x White-backed Swallows at Belford Bridge, Gatton.
White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, Fuscous Honeyeater and a small flock of Musk Lorikeets at Adair Road, Gatton.
3 x male, 1 x female Blue-billed Ducks at Lake Galletly, Gatton.
also, of interest this morning were 20 + Plum-headed Finches at Janke's Lagoon, Chestnut-breasted Mannikins and Australian Reed-Warblers at Lowes Road Dam, White-breasted Woodswallows at Adair Road and a Square-tailed Kite over Gatton township. A great morning's birding.
Regards,
Rod Hobson
Blue-billed Ducks, White-backed Swallows etc. ......

Tree Martins & Swamp Harrier
Checked out Lake Clarendon and Janke's lagoon on the way home from Brisbane today. Not much to report from Clarendon although there was a huge number of Welcome Swallows and Tree Martins on the barbed wire fence near entrance to the dam wall. Good seeing Tree Martins below eye level for a change. Only one Fairy Martin seen amongst them.
At Janke's lagoon, a lone adult Swamp Harrier was the only bird of note.
Pair of Black Swans still at Hood's dam, Helidon.
