Congrats on a great determined effort plus the enjoyment of your video. Not sure of location but would that be Mangrove HE as opposed to Varied HE which has a...
Thanks very much for the replies. I should have mentioned that Gatakers bay is part of Hervey Bay - about 3 hours north of Brisbane. The consensus is that the...
Ah, yes is see, Thanks Graham. For me, actual photos seem more helpful than colour plates in a field guide. That's what threw me with the Tern - I couldn't...
Gooday all, On Tuesday 31 October 2006 I was returning from Newlands Mine and observed a White-faced Heron settled on a Kangaroo carcass that was laying...
"Not sure of location but would that be Mangrove HE as opposed to Varied HE which has a distribution on the East coast of Qld to townsville?" No, it's Varied,...
Gooday Michael, The site at Collinsville where the carcass lays is within 500m of Pelican Creek which currently has water flowing. Jon Wren -- No virus found...
I was wondering if tripping to Mt Isa in January was appropriate to look for the grass-wrens. Being from Melbourne I am unsure of the climate in Mt Isa at that...
I have placed a new quiz bird on the Birds Queensland Main Page. http://www.birdsqueensland.org.au/ Very difficult in the field, not that tricky, I think on...
Hi Tim and BQ_Forumers, I'll go for White-winged Triller - a juvenile judgeing from the barred crown, streaked breast, and pale tips to the mantle feather. ...
My gut feeling is Juvenile White-winged Triller as well but it has been many years since I have seen one (so there's my get out clause) Regards Rex Fisher --...
8 BQ members and 2 visitors attended the walk today 5-11-06. We commenced at 7:30 a.m. and finished the 12 km. circuit by 2 p.m. For the repeat of the walk on...
Thanks Tim for another opportunity to put our thinking caps on. I beleive that it is a White-winged Triller male in eclipse plumage. Jon Wren -- No virus found...
I had an identification but it may have been wrong. I will throw in two extra clues: 1) The photo hardly shows it, but the top of the head was striped from...
As I pointed out on the Web Site, the bird was photogrpahed at Bowra Station SWQ (This is 30 km north of Cunnammula and 800km or so in from the coast).. A...
Don't take my size comparison as accurate, but it is the best I could do. The bird was a bit slimmer than a Miner certainly. but the length was Miner length I...
The damn bird didn't call and didn't fly. It only moved once when it shifted on a branch showing its WHITE rump and a lot of white on its wings. Tim Murphy -...
I think that this clinches it. I apologise for the size, but that is very difficult to judge, especially when you are almost on top of the bird. Tim Murphy ......
Gooday all, I'll still stand by my identification as White-winged Triller male non-breeding or eclipse plumage. Size what can you say, Tim mentions waders here...
Hi, Having only arrived in Australia this past May, I was quite bemused by the fact that Queensland doesn't participate in Daylight Saving. So, aside from the...
The simple answer is to change the hours of operation, not the clock. The clock should be linked to what the sun is doing, so that noon and midday roughly...
Why not immature, to get the pink bill? I think the barring on the head is a mark of immature birds. The bird was very unwary, what you would expect from a...
Don't you know the major reason that Queenslanders voted down daylight saving? Twice I think. It fades the curtains and the cows don't know when to come to be...
Gooday Graham. I'm with you all the way. I'm from down south, Adelaide, and the 4.30 dawns are killers. Not only that, by the time youv'e returned home from a...

Hi All, having just done an Ashmore Reef trip, during which dawn was about 4.30, hence landings on the islands for birding were from 5 till 8.30, after which...
