September Bird Walk

Icon showing approximate beginning to Noosa Trail 7 and proximity to Noosa Botanical Gardens
A small select band of birders ignored the threat of rain and gathered for a walk at the nearby Noosa Trail 7 [see map above]. The threat was never realised and we all enjoyed a nice work through some pretty birdy bush. Special thanks to Russ LAmb for leading the walk.

The first bird seen was a stand out - Regent Bowerbird; first one male and then another and, with some examination, some three females also in attendance.

Other highlights included Yellow throated Scrubwren - one of the very few low land sites this species has been recorded at.
Pitta calling!
Good views of honeyeaters hawking for insects; Brown, Yellow-faced, Dusky, White throated, Lewins.
