Buff-banded Rail (Daryl Mears)

Post by Mick Atzeni »

Daryl reported seeing a Buff-banded Rail in Boyce's Rainforest, Mt Lofty, Toowoomba, this morning. He is the caretaker and has been recording the birds for TBO there each month for decades. Today's sighting was a first , so he was rather pleased.

Daryl has told me TBO members are welcome to go birding there whenever they like. No need to check with him first. This small, iconic remnant rainforest patch is located on the corner of Range and Mackenzie Sts.

Thanks Daryl.
