Lamington National Park - (Python Track)
Leader Patricia Stockwell
The Weather was WET, with moderate to heavy rain all morning.
However the ground birds were still feeding and we observed Logrunners, Basian Thrushes, Large- billed, White Browed and Yellow-throated Scrubwrens. A Tree creeper was heard calling and a Brown Cuckoo Dove flew over. Feeding in crevices in the canopy were Paradise Riflebirds, and the flashes of yellow were Eastern Yellow robins and Golden Whistlers.
At lunchtime our table visitors were 12 female Regent Bowerbirds, a pair of Satin Bowerbirds, and a Spinebill which did a quick flypast.
The weather cleared for a sunny afternoon and a trip down to O’Reily’s winery, where, along the river, we observed Spangled Drongos, Black faced Monarch, white-throated Honeyeaters, and an Australian Magpie lark sitting on her nest. There were Figbirds, Dollarbirds, and a splendid view of a Sacred Kingfisher followed by a stunning Azure Kingfisher flying the length of the river to complete our day.
All bird lists for the day are sent to participants
