Stopped at Haigslea this morning (29/6) on the way home from Wynnum, hoping to jag those Red Goshawks Rod Hobson saw recently! No such luck, but some small compensation with a light phase Little Eagle flying over Missions Rd, just east of Sprengers store. Little Lorikeets also seen along here.
On Sunday morning, dad and I spent a productive hour at the Tingalpa reserve along Chelsea Rd and picked up the following species including a Rufous Fantail which I trust is overwintering - not an early Spring arrival!!?
Australian Wood Duck
Darter
Little Pied Cormorant
Australian White Ibis
Brahminy Kite
White-bellied Sea-Eagle
Silver Gull
Rainbow Lorikeet
* Rainbow Bee-eater
Striated Pardalote
Speckled Warbler
* Noisy Friarbird
Yellow-faced Honeyeater
* Mangrove Honeyeater
Brown Honeyeater
Eastern Spinebill - one bird in mangroves
Scarlet Honeyeater
Eastern Yellow Robin
Golden Whistler
Rufous Whistler
Grey Shrike-thrush
* Rufous Fantail - single bird near entrance on Chelsea Rd
Grey Fantail
Willie Wagtail
Spangled Drongo
Australian Magpie
Red-browed Finch
Silvereye
* new for Winter Beyond
Also heard what we assumed was a Collared Kingfisher in the mangroves - just the one time - but can anyone tell me whether they should even be around this time of year? Field guides say they are migratory in the southern part of their range, which I didn't know, so just assumed that's what it was. Did see a Sacred Kingfisher at South Tweed Heads in the mangroves the previous Sunday, just to throw a spanner in the works.
Seeing the Rufous Fantail, and also the Eastern Spinebill - a species I thought should be up in the hills this time of year, and hearing bee-eaters overhead, but not even hearing a Mangrove Gerygone, which I thought were sedentary, I'm rather confused re bird movements in bayside Brisbane. Surprised to see Speckled Warblers in this estuarine environment too!
Grateful for enlightenment
Little Eagle, Rufous Fantail and others
Sightings anywhere within a 250 km radius of Toowoomba, but excluding the local survey area (see above), for the period 1 Jun - 31 Aug 2009.
