Tim, I would guess that this is a female Blue-billed duck. The colouring looks correct and I would also say that the shape of the beak lends to this being a...

Hi folks For those interested in the plight of the cassowary in Mission Beach, I believe that the local conservation group, C4, has just lost a case in the...
The BQ sightings page contains a report of a Black-breasted Button- quail on 29/9/06 at Mt Goondicum, Monto, Qld. Could someone please give us all a few...
In response to the report of a Long-toed Stint at the Toorbul high- tide roost (29/9/06) I made the short trip from my home to the roost area a few days later....
G'day Bob and BQer's I went up to check out the roost last Sunday afternoon after reading the report Bob refers to, lots of the species Bob already mentioned...
My query is whether the LTS we get in Aus tend to hang around freshwater sites, as opposed to beachside wader roosts. Further, at a roost such as Toorbul, is...
I suspect that some people thinks that it is easy to mistake Sharpies for Long-toed Stints (they are quite similar). I am not saying that this was so in this...
Yes, the field guides do note that LTS look like little sharpies. Perhaps identification is easier when there are RNS around for a size comparison. Regards,...

Yes, it was this morning's high tide. No, I didn't get a good view of the bird in flight. On and off, I watched it for over an hour. One day, I will get a...
When I set up the Birds Queensland Web Site in late 2001, I considered that I could either ask for extensive substantiation of any bird rarer than a ...
The reason I asked about the tide is that high tide drives Sanderlings to, for them, suboptimal habitat. I have seen sanderlings on rocks near Cadiz which is...
Yes, but there is plenty of sand on the main islands that doesn't go under at high tide - I don't think I've ever seen a sanderling inside Moreton Bay before. ...
Yes, there is a degree of difficulty involved. Ideally there would be some sort of indication of the confidence level in the observation [to use a statistical...
