This birdwalk took place on a nice, sunny morning, at several reserves south of Brisbane: The first of these is Karawatha Forest, a large public park containing mostly remnant bushland. At the south of the parkland is a string of melaleuca-lined lagoons, which are supposed to be teeming with wildlife and birds. Unfortunately, throughout the 30Continue reading “Karawatha/Berrinba”

Toowong Creek / ANZAC Park Outing
Hi All, I’m back with another slightly less successful birding story. It was a lovely, sunny morning, especially after receiving so much rain in the days before the event, more than Brisbane had received in 6 months. This meant that Toowong Creek was flowing, for the first time in a long time. First up wereContinue reading “Toowong Creek / ANZAC Park Outing”

Mookin-Bah Wetlands Outing

The walk started on the Chelsea Road side of the wetands and ended halfway in between the wetlands. AContinue reading “Mookin-Bah Wetlands Outing”
Kumbartcho Sanctuary Outing
Another glorious, sunny day led to perfect conditions for a morning birdwalk, organised by Birds Queensland. The group converged by the carpark At 6.30am exactly and we were quick to get going. Our first destination was the main dam, with very few waterbirds. Some of these included Pacific Black Ducks, a Hardhead and a DuskyContinue reading “Kumbartcho Sanctuary Outing”
