Australia

9 September – 25 November 2018

Rob Gordijn & Helen Rijkes ([email protected]) - http://www.penguinbirding.com

Introduction We spend 2,5 month driving around 2/3ths of Australia to see as many new species as possible. Since we had been in Papua just before this trip we didn’t try for the longest list possible, but we did all right seeing 559 species in total. Because this was quite a long trip and the covered area is huge we tried to give some overview below. We visited 11 birding areas (see image below), skipping the Iron Ranges and Western Australia. We decided to drive the entire trip which meant we could only see some additional species along the way that are otherwise hard to reach.

Since we are still traveling this is a preliminary trip report with our main findings and a rough annotated species list (counts are incomplete and subspecies indication is missing). Please send us an email if you are looking for specific information and can’t find it in the report.

Because this was a long trip in Australia (and part of even longer trip overal) we had some days with some time off for doing laundry or preparing for the next months of our trip. These days are marked by an asterisk. We tried to give the driving times for the long stretches, but there was quite a lot of driving on most days (26.000 km in total for the trip).

Practicalities

Guiding & organised trips. Although most species can be easily found by yourself, there are a few where some help is required. Most of these trips are quite popular, so make sure you book them in advance. About 5 months before our trip we booked a Plains wanderer-weekend with Phil Maher (last seats), a pelagic in Southport (waiting list) and a pelagic in Sydney. We also bought tickets for a trip to Melaleuca for the Orange-bellied Parrot. During our trip we realised It would be very difficult to find Black-eared miners so we organised a guided day birding with Peter Waanders of Bellbirding with some good Malleebirds thrown in as well. Plainswanderer: Phil Maher has been running trips from Deniliquin to see Plains Wanderer since the 80’s, you can for an evening for the Plains Wanderers, or join one or the weekend trips to see some other good species as well. We went along on the weekendtrip and paid 340 dollar per person. See https://www.philipmaher.com for details. Sadly we missed the Plains Wanderers due to the drought, but most people are more lucky..

Pelagics Australia has some worldclass pelagic birding to offer. Regular pelagics are organised from several areas e.g. Southport, Port Stephens, Sydney, Kiama, Eaglehawk Neck, Port Fairy. We used www.sossa-international.com to see an(?) overview of the possible sites and dates of the pelagics. Also note that on the Facebook groups “Seabirds and Pelagics Australia” new trips are advertised and opened spots on full pelagics are shared as well. We were able to fit in two pelegics in our itinerary: one from Sydney and one from Southport (each around 120 dollar pp). Orange-bellied Parrots Orange-bellied parrots winter on the mainland and return to their last breeding site in Melaleuca in the remote South west of Tasmania in October & November. The only way to get there is by plane. Day trips can be booked with www.paravion.com for 599 dollar per person. Make sure you book your trip for your first day on Tasmania as trips are regularly cancelled due to the weather (as we experienced.) In our case it was rescheduled to a time after we left from Tasmania so no Orange-bellied parrots for us. The numbers of wild birds are slowly decreasing, and several release programs and assisted overwintering are being worked on. Black-eared Miner/Mallee specialities. Black-eared Miners are rapidly declining due to hybridization with the more widespread Yellow-throated Miners. A “pure one” (identified by dark moustache-stripe and lack of pale rump) is hard to find these days and requires local knowledge of where still birds hang around. Therefore we contacted Peter Waanders from Bellbirding ([email protected]) who lives in Berri, South Australia close to several Mallee reserves. Peter had already a guest on our preferred date, but luckily, we could join in and split the fee (690 dollar shared among 3 people). Aside from the Black-eared Miner (which we found without difficulty but on a reserve not open to the public) we enjoyed other Mallee specialties such as Rufous-lored Whistler, Mallee Emu-wren and Striated Grasswren. Literature

For this trip we didn’t rely much on tripreports found on www.cloudbirders.com since there was a lack of good reports with exact information where to find species. An exception was Zahl 2015 for the Alice Springs area. Tour reports by Birdquest gave a good overview of possible species in the different parts of our trip. eBird proved a terrific source of information although the exact locations can be difficult to extract. A further source of information were the two Bird Finding guides (WTW), by Rohan & Clarke and Thomas & Thomas. We used two apps for digital field guides and a source of bird sounds. They were quite complimentary regarding the bird sounds so in my opinion it is worth to have them both. The plates and text are far inferior to the most recent field guide which we bought and kept in the car (it is quite heavy). Most species are not really difficult to identify so the apps suffice most of the time. A source we discovered quite late in the trip is eremea.com as an overview for the local birdlines and a couple of local Facebook groups (e.g. “South East Queenslandsbirders”, or ‘Birdline South Australia’ ). They are also really good in reporting (local) rarities which can sometimes come in handy for visiting birders. A visiting birder can probably also find help there if he’s having difficulty locating a particular species.

Travelling

Most birders do only a part of this itinerary or several parts and fly between major cities. We decided against it to be more flexible (trying longer for species we didn’t see or moving on when we did). But that meant lots of driving, most of it on good roads but quite a bit on gravel roads as well (especially the Birdsville & Strzlecki). When we booked our rental car we made sure that we were allowed to drive on gravel roads and had unlimited kms. But we had overlooked another rule that we were actually not allowed to drive outside the state we rented the car in…. We actually saw this at quite a late stage and decided we would go anyway. In the end we did nothave any problems at all, but would there have been we might have had some issues insurance-wise.

We drove a Mitsubishi outlander (2wd, reasonable clearance), which was ok for the sites we visited. So 4WD isn’t necessary, but if we would have had more rain it might have been necessary for a few sites.

We only had one spare wheel (2 are recommended on the remote outback roads) but luckily we had no punctures at all. After we saw three vehicles changing tire along the Oodnadataa-track within a short period of time we wondered if we’d made a wise decision, so at least think about the risks beforehand.

Eating & Sleeping

We brought a tent from home, bought cooking gear and a jerrycan for drinking water and camped most of the time. The app Wikicamps Australia has lots of official and unofficial campsites which is very convenient. Most of the campsites in National Parks are great, but have to be booked via their website (and don’t always have cellphone reception at the campsite itself). Motels and cabins at caravansites can be good value for money (which we happily used now and then for recharging laptops etc and a good shower). Accommodation in major cities can be harder to find for a decent price and booking.com is useful as always in that case.

Weather

We experienced everything from hot nights (35 degrees Celsius along the Birdsville) to cold, wet & windy on Tasmania. From about November the wet season starts in the north and of course, summer temperatures in central Australia can be somewhat uncomfortably hot.

Health and safety Although Australia is famous for its snakes, spiders, crocs & other deadly creatures we didn’t have any life-threatening situations (that we were aware of). Take reasonable precautions, stay away from waterbodies in the north, take enough water & food when travelling in the outback & make sure to stay awake during the long drives.

Costs In total we spent 13.000 euro on this trip (without international flights) , of which 1700 was for the car rental. We didn’t keep detail notes on how the other costs split. More camping and more noodles would have made it cheaper, more motels would obviously made it more expensive, there’s lots of opportunity to tailor it to your budget (except for car & fuel) Fuel prices varied widely from 1.39 AUD on the east coast to around 2.00 dollar at more remote sites.

Visited Sites Since in almost 3 months we visited many birding sites, we have tried to organize them in 11 birding regions (see map and itinerary at the begin of the report). Birding stops along the drive between two regions are indicated by [X to X].

[Brisbane to Cairns] Long drive (1700km) but a few interesting stops along the way; most notably Eungella NP which holds the range restricted Eungella Honeyeater. We also saw our only Cotton Pygmy Goose and White-browed Robin of the trip (and we dipped Yellow Chat) along the way, but all of these could be targeted elsewhere. Rockhampton Saltworks We visited the saltworks (-23.6243,150.7115) for Yellow Chat late afternoon but it was windy and we didn’t see them. A small pool along the way to the saltworks (23.6480,150.6599) held our first waterfowl and our only Latham’s Snipe for the trip. Next morning we checked the saltworks again but again no Yellow Chats. Saint Lawrence wetlands and Mackay Botanical Gardens En route to Eungella we checked 2 wetlands with main target Cotton Pygmy Goose. The first wetland (Saint Lawrence, -22.3439,149.5124) didn’t have any Pygmy Goose but Brolga was a new species. The Mackay Botanical Gardens (-21.1586,149.1594) were a better hit with around 10 Cotton Pygmy Gooses. The botanical gardens in Australia are exceptional places, wel designed, well-kept oases and usually good birding! Eungella Main target here is the Eungella Honeyeater. We arrived around 3pm and first checked the end of the Chelman’s road (-21.0423,148.5706) since we had found a recent ebird sighting here. Within 30min we had a nice Eungella Honeyeater and a Crimson Rosella (subspecies nigrescens) along the road driving in. We camped at the Diggings camp

area (-21.1738,148.4793) with Southern Boobook and Australian Owlet-nightjar above the tent (and Platypus next to the tent in the creek). There is also an isolated population of Regent Bowerbird here but we did not see any. White-browed Robin Short stop in some Monsoon forest along the Reedbeds Birding Route proved very successful In the middle of the day where we found at least 3 White-browed Robins at -19.5088, 147.0537 1. Wet tropics (Cairns area) One of the most bird-rich areas of the country with many regional endemics. In the north this stretch can be connected to the Iron Range which we decided to skip for this trip: long drive, 4WD necessary and given our recent visit to Papua there were only a few additional lifers there. We did go as far as Musgrave Roadhouse (halfway up the Cape York Peninsula) for the Golden-shouldered Parrots which is still doable with a 2WD. We did not see the Buff-breasted Paradise-Kingfisher since it only returns to Australia in November to breed (spending the winter in PNG). Mission Beach Roads are busy from before it gets light, but apparently the Cassowaries that live in this area don’t care that much. We found two walking along the main road (-17.9374,146.0589) after about an hour of driving around. This is actually the first time ever actual road markers were along the road for recent sighting of our target species! Another option to see Cassowaries is at the Cassowary House just north of Cairns. Cairns city We birded north of the Esplanade for Mangrove Robin and found them easily in the first 100 meter of the mangroves (walking along the edge). There were no waders along the esplanade because of high tide and we didn’t remain in Cairns long. Also several Varied Honeyeaters along the esplanade and our only Rose-crowned Fruit-dove of the trip. A bit further north along the coastal road (Yule point) we scanned for waders hoping for Beach Stone-Curlew but without success. Usually there is a roost for Rufous Owl in the city of Cairns but since we had seen it in Papua with did not try to find it. Kingfisher Park We stayed here for 3 nights since it is a convenient location to bird the area (Mount Lewis and Atherton Tablelands) Easy birding around the tent and quiet tracks behind the lodge, and we had 6 species here that we did not see anywhere else (Pied Monarch, Yellow-breasted Boatbill, Macleay’s honeyeater, Red-necked Crake, …) of the trip were found on the property. After November this is a good location to see Buff-breasted Paradise Kingfisher. Macleay’s Honeyeaters were very common. The pool in the orchard is a good site to see Red-necked Crake (we only heard it but didn’t try long since we saw it in West Papua) Mt. Lewis The main birding place for all the higher elevation forest birds is the track to the small dam starting at -16.5928,145.2753, most species were easily seen along track (Tooth-billed Bowerbird, Chowchilla, Fernwren, Victoria’s Riflebird, Mountain Thornbill, Atherton Scrubwren) Grey-headed Robin, Bower’s Shrikethrush, Bridled Honeyeater were seen both here and at Kingfisher Park. Only the Golden Bowerbird took a second visit to Mount Lewis, this time we found 2 (drab) young males along the track – it apparently takes more than 5 years for them to get their adult plumage. Early morning while driving up there were already several Chowchillas on the road scratching like small chickens. We tried one night for Lesser Sooty Owl, one bird was easily taped at -16.5793,145.3239, the boobooks here of a somewhat distinct subspecies but we didn’t hear any. Since we saw all the targets birds at Mt Lewis we skipped a visit to Mt Hypipamee (which holds similar species and also gives a chance of Cassowary). Mareeba Wetlands and Pickford rd. The Mareeba wetlands holds some nice wetlandbirding, but during our visit the area was closed, however the entrance road itself (Pickford rd, turnoff at -16.9211,145.4177) can be good for some dry habitats birding; Blue-winged Kookaburra, Australian Bustard, Red-backed Fairywren and Finches (We saw Double-barred and Chestnut-breasted Mannikin but Black-throated Finch has been reported here many times). Target birding in the area There were a few birds that we did not see one of the above site so these were specifically targeted:

- Lovely Fairywren – eBird stake-out along Wessel road, within 1 min we had a lovely pair at 16.6469,145.3330. - Sarus Crane – driving around the fields of Atherton. We founds 13 cranes at -17.2171, 145.5050 without any

difficulty. Sometimes Eastern Grassowls are seen in this area as well but we did not try at dusk.

- Squatter pigeon – known stakeout at Granite Gorge NP (17.0420,145.3514). In a few reports we had read they are easily seen at the car park but we never reached that since already on the entrance road there were several Squatter Pigeons just next to the road.

- We visited a few wetlands for waterfowl (Lake Mitchell, Hasties Swamp) – all were chosen based on recent sightings on eBird.

Artemis Station (near Musgrave) The stake-out for the Golden-shouldered Parrots. Camping available on the station (10 dollar pp) where there are feeders for the parrots just outside the entrance for the station at -14.9799,143.5787. Sue (the owner of the station and parrotguardian) told us that this is the first year she is also putting some food out during the dry season (previously only in the beginning of the wetseason when food is very scarce for a couple of weeks). Both in the afternoon and in the morning we saw several parrots including a full plumage male. Black-backed Butcherbird is common in this area as well. Lakefield NP On the first afternoon we checked the place were in the past Red Goshawk has been breeding but no sign of the birds now (and we had no knowledge of an active nest). Black-backed Butcherbird was found here as well. On the second day, instead of taking the main road back from Musgrave to Cooktown we decided to take the detour through Lakefield NP. In hindsight this was not the best idea since the dirt road was pretty bad in lots of places and it took longer than we expected. Plus it was mostly driving during the heat of the day not seeing much birds. Best bird was a Black-chinned “Golden-backed’ Honeyeater found at a short stop at a creek crossing. Cooktown We had only 2 targets left by the time we reached Cooktown. • Tropical Scrubwren easily found at first part of the Walker Bay Road at gps -15.4990, 145.2721 (Noisy Pitta is

common here as well). • White-streaked Honeyeater took a bit more time; there were no recent sightings on eBird so we tried our luck at

places that had sightings in the past and eventually found 2 birds at the Little Anan River Rest Area along the highway at -15.6814,145.2064. Other places we tried but did not find the Honeyeater: around the Endeavour River (only bird of interest Lovely Fairywren at -15.4624,145.1935) and Keating’s Lagoon (Northern Fantail, Shining Flycatcher were new for the trip).

We stayed at the Cooktown Campervan Park were at night we had a Papuan Frogmouth above the tent and a calling Large-tailed Nightjar. [Cairns to Mount Isa] No essential stops en route, but nice to do some birding in between the long hours of driving. Since we failed to find Black-throated Finch in the Cairns region we were very happy with a second chance at Cumberland Dam. Georgetown & Cumberland Dam We arrived around 10:30am at Georgetown when it was already pretty hot and activity had mostly gone quiet. Nonetheless we had a very productive visit at the Cumberland Dam (just over 20km past Georgetown) were we had 2 Black-throated Finches coming to drink in the smaller Dam along with some Zebra Finches and Double-Barred Finches (finches were drinking on the south shore while were we scoping at -18.2995,143.3498). At Georgetown we also visited the Race course (-18.3011,143.5227) where recently Black-throated Finches had been seen. The site looked promising and we found some Double-barred Finches but probably better to visit early morning or late afternoon. Karumba We visited the mangroves just east of town (starting from -17.4815,140.8396) late afternoon and early morning and didn’t find many species. This should be a good area for White-breasted Whistler and Mangrove Gerygone but we failed on finding either. Canary White-eye was common. A few Red-headed Myzomela seen on both visits. On the drive to Karumba the plains were full of Australian Pratincoles and several groups of Cranes (both Brolga and Sarus seen). 2. Mount Isa & Winton Mount Isa has 2 regional restricted Grasswrens and is a good place for several other Outback species. Winton is the best known site for Striated (Rusty) Grasswren. The other two specialties of Winton (Hall’s Babbler and Chestnut-breasted Quailthrush) can also be seen around Cunnamulla in southwest Queensland (also Bourke’s Parrot there) but by including Winton in our trip and seeing Bourke’s Parrots at Alice Springs we skipped that area entirely.

Winton area - Lark Quarry NP This NP is located 100km south of Winton and the best place to find Striated (Rusty) Grasswren. On our visit a nest of Grey Falcons was present in the communication tower at the turnoff to Lark Quarry. We arrived mid-morning on a very windy day. Not ideal conditions to find a Grasswren. We searched for two hours without result near a recent point found on eBird. We then visited the visitor centre and walked the track behind it (Crested Bellbird, Grey Shrikethrush & Spotted Bowerbird at visitor centre, Little Woodswallow & Red-Backed Kingfisher along the trail). After that we checked out the Microwave tower at the turn-off and saw the a largish nest but couldn’t see any birds. We decided to wait around, but didn’t have to wait long as 5 minutes later an Grey Falcon came flying in to feed at least two chicks. We then went back into the Spinifex (it was now 4pm) and found Striated Grasswrens (Split as Rusty Grasswren by Clements) at -23.0216, 142.4363. They do respond to the tape of the Pilbara subspecies, but then again, they also respond to the tape of Rufous-crowned Emu-wren. We did not see any Emu-wrens during our visit (In hindsight it would have been smart to have stayed longer for the Emu-wren (which is in the same area as the Grasswrens. Luckily in the end we saw one at Alice Springs but during our trip but it appeared the were seen more regularly at Lark Quarry than in the Alice Springs area). Winton area – Bladensburg We stayed two nights at Bladensburg NP (very nice campground at -22.5600,142.9600) and from there birded several location:

- Road to Logan Falls and around Logan Falls: Good place for Hall’s Babbler and Chestnut-breasted Quailthrush. We found a group of Babblers along the road to the Falls but several tries for the Quailthrushes were unsuccessful (we missed it entirely). Several Spinifex Pigeons present in the area.

- Skull hole (gps) was one of the few places that still had a bit of water left and several birds came into drink (including our only Plum-headed Finch of the trip). From there we walked to the creek line mentioned in on of the WTW-guides as a good place for the Quailthrush (2km from the Skull hole parking) which produced two Grey Falcons circling overhead and several Black Honeyeaters but no sign of Quailthrushes or Emu-wrens.

En route between Winton and Mt Isa Short stop along the road at a dry river bed (-21.0311,140.9514) where we found several Spinifex Pigeons (along the small track) and flushed 2 Spotted Nightjars (from the riverbed itself). Mt Isa area - Lake Moondarra We arrived in Mount Isa in the afternoon and spent the last hour of the day on a visit to Lake Moondarra. Our main target here was Painted Finch which we found at -20.5888, 139.5654 (place is described in the WTW). Also some Long-tailed Finches were present and Grey-fronted Honeyeater was very common here. Mt Isa area - McNamara Rd About 70km north of Mount Isa starts the McNamara Rd (turnoff at -20.3458,139.1427) which is the place to find Carpentarian Grasswren, which we eventually found at -20.2785, 139.1506. This turned out to be the most skulky grasswren of our entire trip; we walked for several hours through the spinifex not hearing or seeing anything. The wind was steadily increasing which improved difficulty. Based on a glimpse of a song through the wind we walked over to a larger spinifex area and waited there for 10+ minutes. Then a few subtle calls meant the bird was still in there. We slowly approached the bush and after a while a bird flew out and landed 50+ meter further, giving very unsatisfying views. The next hour we did not see the bird but slowly followed the calls (every few minutes a only one short call) through the windy spinifex. The next 30 minutes we started to see glimpses as it run further and further, almost back to the main road finally giving rewarding views for both of us at separate moments. We then followed it all the way back again to where we first found it. Walking back to the car we located two more birds along the Spinifex dense gully. Also our first Black-tailed Treecreeper was seen here. Mt Isa area - Pamela Street The stakeout place for Kalkadoon Grasswren. We parked the car at the end of Pamela Street and walked up to where a you can turn right unto a walking track through the Spinifex valley. We visited the site in the afternoon and the next morning. The first afternoon we found a female at -20.7366, 139.5107 which gave some quick views before disappearing again. The next morning we found a male in the same area. [Mount Isa to Darwin] The road from Mount Isa to Katherine goes through vast cattle lands on Mitchell grass/black soil plains. This is one of the core ranges of Flock Bronzewing and Yellow chat can be seen here as well (mainly in the wet season). We travelled

through this birding here one late afternoon and one morning (spending the night on rest stop along the Barkly highway. The plain was very dry and we checked out a few water holes but couldn’t find any Flockies. Horsfields lark was very common in the area around gps. In the end we didn’t do this area justice only transiting. 3. Top End (Darwin area) km 8 Arnhem highway (South of Katherine) This is a known stake-out for the northern subspecies of the Crested Shrik Tit which is sometimes mooted as a species. On our first visit in the afternoon we couldn’t find any although the area was good for honeyeaters and Brown Quail. On our second visit (morning) there was no wind and heard the Shrike-tits calling (sound actually travels quite far). We walked towards the call and found a few birds at: -14.5937, 132.7159. Edith Falls rd (Between Katherine & Pine Creek) This was a good site to find drinking finches we visited a pool at -14.1871, 132.0824 one early morning and had Gouldian, Masked, Long-tailed drinking. Check eBird for recent sightings of finches to see which local waterhole is producing the goods. Hooded parrot often comes in to drink at the pools as well. Chainman & Chinaman creek (just west of Katherine) These are two creekbeds crossing the highway to west of Katherine. These sites can be good for a host of species, but our main target here was Chestnut-backed Buttonquail. On our first morning we couldn’t find any but on a second afternoon visit to Chainman creek we found a group of 15 Chestnut-backed Buttonquails just north of the old Victoria highway at -14.5951, 132.1513. We found them in an area with rocky areas, high grass on the edge of a recently burned area. So look for the most heterogenous part of the area and just keep looking. Katherine Poo ponds The sewage works in Katherine provide some scarce wetlands in this dry region. From the fence you have a reasonable view of a few ponds but on our second visit other birders were visiting the ponds and we were let in by Marc Gardner (thanks!) this gave great views of Yellow Chat & Oriental Plover Pine Creek The centre of Pine Creek (if you can speak of such a thing) consists of large park. This area is a roost for Hooded Parrots which come flying in late afternoon. Umbrawarra gorge (just south of Pine Creek). Silver-backed Butcherbird is quite a localized species we easily found it at the campsite at Umbrawarra Gorge at gps,

Kakadu One of the main tourist attractions in Northern Territory with lot’s of opportunity for birding as well. We mainly focussed on the essential birds of this area. We tried to search for Red Goshawk which we knew was breeding in the wider area but failed. There were one or more nests in the area which were kept secret for conservation/commercial reasons (regularly visited by tours). We made a short stop for Buff-sided Robin along one of rivercrossings and found one at: 13.4339, 132.2737. The sandstone endemics are found around at a few sites with aboriginal art. The whole set (white-lined honeyeater, Sandstone Shrike thrush, Chestnut-quilled Rock Pigeon & Banded Fruit dove can be seen at all the sites but it took us a couple of visits to several sites to see them all. We saw the pigeon at Ubirr -12.4119, 132.9582 walking around the parking late afternoon after searching a couple of hours in the morning without result. On an early morning visit to Bardjedjildie -12.4329, 132.9699 (Ubirr doesn’t open untill 08.30 only gave us Sandstone Shrike Thrush (the only species we saw at all three sites) and good looks at Rainbow Pitta. We found White-lined Honeyeater at the northside of the Nourlangie rock gps and finally Banded Fruit Dove was found scanning the hillside from the lookout in Nourlangie -12.8646, 132.8158. Partridge pigeon was found walking around the area near the visitor centre (towards the staff accomodation) and seems most common in this area, around the village and the airport

On the drive out we also visited some wetlands but didn’t see that much. Darwin Buffalo Creek: a known site for Chestnut Rail which leaves the mangroves opposite the boat ramp on falling tide. Try to visit on weekdays as weekends get very busy. Time of day matters less than the tide at this spot. Your best chance is on falling tide with the first meters of mud exposed (ideally during a quiet morning but you can’t have it all). We saw it on our third visit at 11.30 (on a weekday). Eastpoint: a peninsula on the westside of Darwin with a few good area, the point itself -12.4065, 130.8170 is good for waders (with Beach Thicknee sometimes seen), the Monsoon walk (parking: -12.4117, 130.8239) is good for Rainbow Pitta, Grey ‘Brown’ Whistler, ‘& Little ‘Arafura Shrikethrush. Finally the mangrove boardwalk is just a very short walk through some mangroves -12.4120, 130. 8303 and appearantly Mangrove Fantail is regularly seen here but not during the visits we made. Some mangroves in a residential area (Coconut grove) are the best site in Darwin to try for White-breasted Whistler park at the end of the street at -12.3942, 130.8487 and walk left through the mangroves. The path goes through the mangroves and is only accesible with low tide. We tried twice in the afternoon without result. Other popular spots around Darwin that we did not visit are the Botanical Gardens (good for Rufous Owl) and Fogg Dam (an area tot he south east with a wetland and monsoon forest which is very species rich.

Victoria River Roadhouse Main target here is the White-quilled Rock-pigeon with the best place being the escarpment walk just past the River Roadhouse (start of walk at -15.6058, 131.1152): We walked up at 4pm when it was still very hot and very low activity. At the top of the walk we searched by walking around on the escarpment and by scanning the more distant rocks by scope. Eventually this paid off with a distant pigeon perched on the cliff (scoped from this point). Purple-crowned Fairywren: This very neat Fairywren occurs on several places along the Victoria River. We tried them In the last light of the day at the Victoria boat ramp (-15.6303, 131.1351) and quite easily had a group of 3 responding at the opposite riverside. Finches: we made a short attempt for drinking finches at the Old Victoria River crossing in the morning but it did not produce much so we decided to drive onwards to Timber Creek which (according to ebird and tripreports) is the more reliable site.

Timber Creek Best location in the Northern Terroritory for Star Finch, Yellow-rumped Mannikin and Pictorella Mannikin. For us this was the first real logistic setback on the trip when we came to Timber Creek and found out the highway was closed between Timber Creek and Kunnunurra (due to a huge bush fire) with the roadblock starting just after the Timber Creek Roadhouse (it had been closed since the day before and would at least be closed untill the next day). This meant that the two best places for finches (Policemen Point and the Airstrip) where not reachable. We did not feel like waiting around and decided to push on (and leave the finches for another trip when we go for the Black Grasswren)

[Top End to Alice Springs]

We made a short stop at Newcastle Waters (-17.3722, 133.4127) along our drive south with our first Little Crows of the Trip. There had been Yellow Chats present here a few weeks earlier but at our visits only a few Crimson Chats were present.

4. Alice Springs & Uluru Kunnoth Bore The bore is a great site to see Bourke’s Parrot (first evening 2, next morning 70) but it was almost dry when we visited, in less than a week it would probably have dried out completely (a local told us that the last time the bore dried up

was 5 years ago). The road to the Youth Camp has excellent mulga. We tried several times to find Grey Honeyeater (which we didn’t) but found several groups of Thornbills. Slaty-backed Thornbill is quite common here. St Theresa rd We tried one afternoon at the famous tyre-in-pole-site and found both Dusky Grasswren (-24.0142, 134.0779) and Rufous-crowned Emu-wren (-24.0167, 134.0719) after walking through the Spinifex for about three hours. Desert Springs Park Following sightings on eBird we tried our luck at the Desert Park for Grey Honeater (around the Nocturnal House) which is sometimes seen here. Although we saw quite some species (lots of flowering trees and water attracted lots of birds) we didn’t find Grey Honeater. That evening we got the tip to search in the surrounding woodlands and found a Grey Honeyeater next morning in a group of Thornbills (-23.6999, 133.8204) but it proved elusive and after a short view disappeared not be refound.

Road from Alice to Erldunda

• Cannonball memorial: On the west side of the road we found Cinnamon Quailthrush and Banded White-face (-24.3737, 133.4162) quite easily in the middle of the day - helped by the fact is was overcast and even had a few drops of rain. This seems to be a nicer site (to us) than the next because the fences are further away from the road so you can actually do some birding there.

• 21 km north of Erldunda A good site for Cinnamon Quailthrush & Banded White-face. We didn’t see the latter but didn’t try very hard. The fences are quite close to the road leaving not much place for birding. Chiming wedgebill seen at (-25.0202, 133.2006)

Uluru There’s is basically one target at Uluru, the ‘Sandhill’ (sub)species of the Striated Grasswren. The best area for years has been the sunset viewing car park (best not visited on sunset). We only found it on our second attempt at -25.3381, 131.0051. The road is quite busy but has reasonably wide shoulders. Park your car at the sunset viewing area and walk along the opposite side of the road for the length of the car park seems to be good strategy. Our first morning was very windy which didn’t help. We tried lots of other good looking spinifex (between campsite and powerstation, along road to airport) but we had nothing although the habitat looked great. With all hopes on the last morning we did a second attempt at the sunset viewing car park site and there it was...

[Alice Springs to South Australian outback]

Chestnut-breasted White-face north of Marla South Australia’s endemic the Chestnut-breasted White-face seems no longer possible at Lyndhurst and we also couldn’t find it at the well-known site 12 km south of Cooper Pedy, luckily we saw it earlier along Stuart hwy. We parked here -27.0562, 133.4520 and saw the Chestnut-breasted whitefaces in this area -27.0616, 133.4523.

Cooper Pedy Sewage works At the eastern edge of Cooper Pedy the local sewage works outflow forms a creek/marsh. We visited this birdy spot late afternoon and found some Orange Chats, Australian Crake, abundant Little Grassbird and Pied Honeyeater. Apparently Gibberbird is found on the Gibberplains just east of here as well but we couldn’t locate it.

Memorial 12 km south of Cooper Pedy This is a stake-out for both Thick-billed Grasswren & Chestnut-breasted White-face and although we walked around quite a bit we actually saw nothing except a few fairywrens, very quiet.

5. Outback tracks

A few very good species can only be found by venturing far into the outback on a few graveltracks. Because we came from the north we accessed the Birdsville track via Williams Creeks rd/Oodnadatta track from Cooper Pedy. We made a few stops along the Oodnadatta for Gibberbird but couldn’t find any. We did see a few Cinnamon-Quailthrush and Chiming Wedgebill but the highlight was definitely a Thick-billed Grasswren that crossed the track (!) right before our car at -29.1932, 136.6095 which we could follow and observe some longer in the bushes along the road.

Birdsville track: After a night in Marree was started driving north along the birdsville track in early morning. We tried a few stops for Gibberbird but without success. The next target was more cooperative and around the dunes at (-29.1410, 138.4031) we found several Eyrean Grasswren. We camped at the Tippapila Creek Bush Camp at (-26.9950,139.0169) which is in the middle of nowhere but comes with a good functioning toilet. The next morning we left early to be at the famous Grey Grasswren site at first light (-26.6478, 139.6180). We searched for quite some time but without finding any Grasswrens. Huge bonus however were two Flock Bronzewings that flew past. At the end of the morning the wind and the temperature had increased a lot so we decided to drive on to Birdsville were we had a good lunch in the hotel bar. We drove some north of Birdsville in search of Gibberbird but without success. Then South of Birdsville we made a stop at Pelican Point: a big water reservoir with waterfowl everywhere. Freckled Duck was new for us and Black-tailed Nativehens were abundant. A few weeks earlier a huge group (several thousands) Flock Bronzewings had been seen here at dusk, but since we had already seen the species that morning we decided to leave and spend the last hours of daylight at the Grey Grasswren site. This worked out and within 5 minutes after we parked the car we found a group of 5+ Grasswrens (-26.6478, 139.6180) that moved so fast that we had difficulty keeping up with them until they posed nicely at a bush more than a km (!) from where we had started. Another group of 6 Flock Bronzewings flew past, shower very well in the last evening light. We camped again at the Tippapila Bush Camp (with 35 degrees and thunder at the horizon). Next and final day we drove down again to Lyndhurst. The Gibberbird was giving us a hard time but after several tries we found one at -28.2187, 138.6790. At one of the roadside pools we also came across another pair of Flock Bronzewings having a morning drink (-27.2084, 138.7722)

Other targets that can be seen along the Birdsville track but we didn’t see include Yellow Chat (Pandibura bore is the place to be but we didn’t visit it), Grey Falcon is often seen roosting in a communication tower near Mungerannie Roadhouse (but we already had seen four and didn’t overnight in the area) and Inland Dotterel which we searched for but couldn’t find. Strzelecki: After our success sat the Birdsville track we didn’t have too many targets driving into the Strzelecki track; we started from Lyndhurst so we tried the former Chestnut-breasted Whiteface stop but found it very quiet and didn’t see anything of note. We then drove down the track to the area where the Letter-winged kites had been roosting and started our search. The only white rat-eating nocturnal raptor we could find was a Barn owl despite lots of walking to trees further away and driving the road in both directions until dark. We decided to camp at Montecollina bore and try again in the morning. After walking the area again we were getting desperate a bit when just before 8am a Letter-winged Kite came flying in and perched in a tree at -29.2009, 140.0826. It was mobbed a few times and it had difficulty finding a good place to sit as it was very windy but seemed to be settled when we left. Other species we saw in the area Chirruping Wedgebill, Eyrean Grasswren, Rufous Fieldwren. Flinders Ranges On our way south from the Strzelecki we visited Stokes Hill twice. We had seen there were no sightings this year of Short-tailed Grasswren and when we visited we could understand why; there were kangaroos and sheep everywhere, clearly overgrazing the spenifix and trampling the habitat. For the Grasswren we had to come up with a plan B, which luckily worked out (see Mt Ive Station in the Port Augusta region). Stokes Hill was however the only place we saw Elegant Parrots.

6. Port Augusta to Nullarbor

Nice extension for 5-7 days if you have the time. Some overlap with Western Australia species but also some very range restricted endemics.

Whyalla The Wild Dog Hills, just above Whyalla are the known stakeout for Western Grasswren. We easily found them close to the parking at (-32.9452, 137.5160) and some more at the other side of the hill. The next day we saw a pair of Redthroat at (-32.7090, 137.1388), spot found on ebird (this is a species that is more widespread but in low numbers and until we hadn’t encountered any).

Lake Gilles CP Even though it was the middle of the day by the time we reached the park we easily found Copper-backed Quail thrush at (-33.0642, 136.7543) and a beautiful Rufous Treecreeper at (-33. 1130, 136.6319). We suspected that the few drops of rain that had fallen this morning really increased the bird activity during the day.

Point Brown On our long drive west towards the Nullarbor we added some birding stops including a visit to Point Brown (-32.5343, 133.8729) from where we scoped the beach and found a few Hooded Plovers. Also a Little Buttonquail was flushed here.

Nulllarbor The Nullarbor lies halfway between Port Augusta and Western Australia but although it feels like a very long drive it is still much shorter from this side then visiting it from a Western Australia trip. There are two sides two visit for the range restricted targets: • The Fencetrack next to the Nullarbor Roadhouse: We slowly drove and then walked a for a while along the track

finding 2 Nullarbor Quail thrushes at (-31.4347, 130.9103). Among all the Quail thrushes these were the most weary giving only flight views.

• Nullarbor National Park: 100km further than the roadhouse is the turnoff to the Nullarbor NP. We decided to camp here, thereby increasing our chances of finding the Naretha Bluebonnet. We searched the first afternoon without success but the next morning we were lucky and found a pair of Bluebonnets at (-31.5246, 129.8812). We then drove and scanned some more along the road further into the National Park finding a couple of more Bluebonnets and a very welcome Ground Cuckooshrike at (-31.4675, 129.8629)

Mt Ive station After our visit to Stokes Hill we needed a plan B for Short-tailed Grasswren. With some searching (ebird and further online) we decided on Mt Ive Station, a bit of a detour bit one we could fit in on our drive back from Nullarbor. We tried the first afternoon by climbing the hill behind the station. The spinifex looked very good here and it did not take long before we found a pair of Short-tailed Grasswrens at (-32.4380, 136.0632). Next morning we climbed up again and walked some further along the ridge where we heard and saw some more Grasswrens.

Port Lincoln NP On our drive to Port Lincoln we made a short stop at (-34.6404,135.6938) since a group of Cape Barren Goose was present here, along with some other waterfowl. Inside the National Park our main target was the recently split White-bellied Whipbird. We tried one afternoon when it was quite windy without result. The next morning the weather was very calm and it did not take long before we heard and then saw the Whipbird at (-34.8425, 135.8656). Other species of interest were a pair of Purple-gaped Honeyeater at (-34.7700, 135.9383) and Rock Parrot: a group was foraging in the grass early morning near the entrance at -34.8128, 135.7842, later we also saw them at Wanna head.

7. Mallee Area

Berri area & Murray Sunset NP Birding with Peter Waanders (see Guiding part in introduction of this report) which provided the much wanted Black-eared Miner and also Rufous-lored Whistler, Mallee Emu-wren and Striated Grasswren.

On the way to Hattah Kulkyne we tried for White-browed treecreeper around (-34.4145,141.4276) which showed very well.

Hattah Kulkyne We camped at the nice NP campingsite. Early morning we explored the Nowingi Track where we found Chestnut Quailthrush at (-34.6616, 142.2706) and Striated Grasswren at (-34.6949, 142.2717). We did not see any Regent Parrots around Lake Hattah so we drove on to Lake Moornpall where it did not take long before several Regent Parrots flew by showing there deep colors (-34.7135, 142.3580)

Patchewollock for Malleefowl It was extremely dry in the region when we were there making some birds more difficult than normal. Usually there are a few known Malleefowl mounds this time of the year but with the drought none were found. Based on ebird we tried our luck at the stretch of road towards Patchewollock were they often come out to the road an hour before dusk. We drove slowly and in a stretch of a few km from (-35.2849,142.1615) south we luckily found several.

Little desert NP - Dahlenbergs Mill track On our way to Little Desert NP we made a short stop at Hyndmarsh where we found another Regent Parrot (-36.1335, 141.9284). Main reason for a visit to Little Desert NP was Shy Heathwren which we found at (-36.4811, 141.6569). Tawny-crowned honey at the same location. Since we quickly found our target we did not spend more time in the park and drove on south.

Mount Arapiles Convenient location for an overnight stay (-36.7593,141.8498) driving south to Anglesea. In the morning we walked around and did some birding, most interesting birds being Gilberts whistler & Black-eared Cuckoo.

8. Melbourne to Deniliquin

Anglesea area We stayed 2 nights at Winchelsea from where we visited several birding spots around Anglesea • Lake Colac: A bit of luck brought us Australasian Bittern. It had been reported on the ebird hotspot several times

in the weeks before we visited but we did not know where to search. Luckily we ran into some locals and we then saw it motionless sitting quite high up in the reeds, observable from (-38.3308, 143.5973) with the telescope.

• Point Addis: Known stakeout for Rufous Bristlebird which was easily seen and heard (-38.3950, 144.2529) • Along the Forest road: Several Southern Emu-wren found at (-38.3577, 144.1954) • Eumeralla Flora reserve: Striated Fieldwren along the boardwalk (-138.4062, 144.1996) • Lake Moodewarre: we walked several parts before finally flushing 2 Stubble Quails at (-38.2344, 144.1107) • Coalmine rd (just behind Anglesea) seemed reliable for Blue-winged Parrot. (-38.3941, 144.1880) Both times we

were there we saw a few birds flying by/briefly perching.

Around Melbourne • Werribee Western Treatment Plants: famous Australian birding site for the amount of rareties turning up here.

The waders and ducks were no tour main interest though, but it is also a good stretch to look for Fairy Terns. The Beach Road can be accessed without permit and we first tried at the boat ramp at the end of the Beach Road. The rest of the area there can be accessed by arranging a permit and collecting a key to open the gates. The permit request was quite easily done via the website and we collected the key at the Western Treatment Plant Office at -37.9137,144.6430. Fairy tern (our main target here) was found by driving the bird route going north from the boat ramp and scanning the rocks.

• Shepherds Bush: Lovely park in the suburbs of Melbourne where apparently Powerful Owl and Tawny Frogmouth regularly bread. Thanks to the tip of a local we observed 4 beautiful Powerful Owls. The start walking track is at -37.8812, 145.1900

• Wirrawilla rainforest tracks: We camped at the Bull Creek Camp (-37.4285, 145.5716) and the next morning drove to the Wirrawilla rainforest track. We heard several Superb Lyrebirds far from the track, and found a pair

of Pilotbirds at -37.5319, 145.526. Also Flame, Pink & Rose Robin were seen along the track. When we drove off towards Melbourne again, a male Lyrebirds crossed the road.

• Bunyip State Forest: We visited two places here, both without any success so in the end we did not see anything interested here. 1. Helipad (-37.9500, 145.6620) is in summer a good spot for White-throated Nightjar at dusk but maybe we were too early in the year? & 2.Glen Nyook rainforest walk (-37.9272, 145.9433) a short track that we tried for Lyrebird and Red-browed Treecreeper but no sign of either.

• Dandenong Sherbrooke forest: We walked here one morning in search of Lyrebirds and with success – especially the area around (-37.8975, 145.3775) seemed good, this is where we saw several -. We also searched here for Red-browed Treecreeper but no luck.

Heathcote Not a necessary stop but en route from Melbourne to Deniliquin offering some good heath birding. Other option we looked at was the Greater Bendigo NP (all places here found on ebird + some comments in the where to watch apps). Most interesting sightings: • Painted Honeyeater at Chewton Railway dam (37.1046, 144.2981) • Chestnut-rumped Heathwren (-36.9043, 144.6821)

Deniliquin

See guiding bit above, although we didn’t see Plains Wanderer it was still good birding with e.g. Inland Dotterel, Painted Honeyeater, Square-tailed Kite, Black-backed Bittern and lot’s of other highlights.

[En Route Deniliquin to Syney area]

Chiltern could be a good stop (usually they have Regent Honeyeater,…) but we decided to skip it since there were no recent sightings of the Regent Honeyeater and the other species we could only see at Capertee Valley.

9. Sydney area

• Barrengrounds • Fitzroy Falls: We made a short walk in the middle of the day here. Beautiful scenery and Rockwarbler is

sometimes seen here according to ebird but we couldn’t find it. On the way back we saw a male Lyrebird scratching the ground close to the path.

• Nowra hanging rock lookout: We were still looking for Rockwarbler and based on Ebird we searched along the rocks at Nowra. And with success, we found a pair of Rockwarblers at -34.8725,150.5901.

• Wollongong: a single Regent Honeyeater was found in the Botanical Gardens of Wollongong just over a week before we were heading in the direction Sydney. This is a real rarity at the coast and the birds was visited by many (local) birdwatchers. Luckily for us the bird was still present on the day we could finally visit the Garders, although it took a very nervous 4 hours of searching before it came to the flowering tree where it was mostly seen. Other birds seen here while searching were White-headed Pigeon, Green Catbird

• Capertee Valley (by this point we had seen a lot of the specialties here already earlier on in the trip so mainly focussed on the remaining targets).

o About 10km into the Glen Davis road (at -33.1359,150.0529) we stopped and tried for Spotted Quailthrush. Lots of bird activity here but no luck with the Quailthrush although the habitat looked promising.

o We then stopped at the Coco creek bridge ( -33.1365,150.1129). This place is described by many and holds a long list of possible species. We didn’t stop for too long but were happy with our first Turquoise Parrots flying by.

o We camped at the Coorongooba Camping area (-33.1232,150.3237). Both in the evening and the next morning we found Gang gang Cockatoos around the camping area.

o The next morning we walked a bit of the trail that continues into the valley at the end of the camping ground (but higher up the hill so that we first climb up to it). We were very happy when we

found a male Spotted Quailthrush that responded to playback (at -33.1279,150.3243). It surprised us that instead of moving close to the ground we found the Quailthrush quite high up in the trees. On the walk back we also saw a female fouraging on the ground not too far from the path.

o An unexpected Rockwarbler pair was seen at -33.1217,150.3091 o We explored the Glen Alice road in search for more Turquoise Parrots. Along the road we also found

a Beautiful Firetail. • Falnash State Forest for Red-browed Treecreeper: SInce we could not find this species around Melbourne we

looked for a reliable site near Sydney. We found the Falnash State Forest on ebird and parked at start of the trail at -33.4022,150.0029 and within 15 minutes found a Red-browed Treecreeper at -33.4040,150.0037.

• Blue Mountains: We tried along the Tableland road for Glossy-black Cockatoos (since there were many sightings on ebird) but without success.

• Pelagic: One of the two pelagics we did while in Australia and definitely one of the highlights of the trip. The trip started at 6:30 and we were back around 15:00. See website etc in the beginning of this report. It was a very successful pelagic seeing 4 species of Albatross and several species of petrels.

[En route Sydney to Brisbane]

• Barrington Tops/ Gloucester Tops: We spent one night here since it appears to be the best site for Rufous Scrubbird (other site is Lamington NP where it seems more difficult). We camped at the Gloucester River Camping Area (probably a good place for owling but we were very tired). For the Scrubbird the Where to watch guides mention the Last part of the Gloucester Tops Road and the Kerripit trail. We parked at the intersection and walked the Kerripit trail, first hearing a Scrubbirds (2 times) and then found a fouraging female at -32.0630,151.5841. Wonga Pigeons and White-headed pigeons here too.

• Old Bar beach inlet: Since a few years a small group of Aleutian Terns winters at the coast between New Castle and Port Macquerie at the Farquhar Inlet (Old Bar). We searched for them in the afternoon and found 4 birds at -31.9535,152.6042. Also a Double-banded Plover was present here.

• At Hastings Point a pair of Beach Stone-curleys was nesting close to the road (well protected and cared for by the local community with fences and information posters).

10. Brisbane area

Lamington NP/ o’reillys We stayed here for 2 nights (camping). • Along the entrance road we tried for Glossy-black Cockatoo (a species that we tried for at several other spots but

without success). We decided to walk along the road thereby maximizing the chance that we would here a bird (even if it was quietly foraging). This paid out and we found a pair of Glossy-black Cockatoos (at - 28.1345,153.1108) that were feeding on the casuarina seeds. Walking back we flushed a pair of Painted Buttonquail (-28.1349,153.1104)

• White-eared Monarch at Kamarun Lookout: on the second time we visited the spot we found one at (-28.1576,153.1228)

• Albert’s Lyrebirds; one was seen first light at the camping entrance, then several more walking along the Border Track.

• Paradise Riflebird: One male seen along the Python Rock trail and several heard along the Border Track. • Regent Bowerbird: male seen at camping and at Balcony of café • At night we tried for owls but we didn’t hear or see a single one.

Mount Glorious Two nights owling here, both nights lot of wind. Tried at Brown road and at beginning of Lawton road for Masked Owl, Sooty ow land Marbled Frogmouth. We found a juvenile Sooty Owl giving begging calls at start of Greenes Falls Track (-27.3276,152.7630). An hour before dusk we walked around the Rainforest Circuit – most interesting were several Russet-tailed Thrushes. Samsonvale Lake

Visited the end of the Postmans Track on two mornings here in search of Buttonquail. (Some?) trails are now open to the public and we first walked part of the ”Red trail” finding a pair of Painted Buttonquails at -27.5386,152.8651. We then walked the “Lake trail” (going straight from the carpark to the lake, where we flushed several small Buttonquails; first a Red-Chested (at -27.2626,152.8574) and then a Red-backed and on the way back another two Red-backed.closer to the lake. A group of Brown Quails was along the track closer to the carpark and the second time we visited Samsonvale Lake we flushed several King Quails so the area seems a good spot for (button)quails. Southport Pelagic The second pelagic we did (after one a week previous from Sydney). It was a very calm day but nonetheless the trip was very successful with a lot of different/new species compared to the on in Sydney. Port of Brisbane Waders roost just East of Brisbane (-27.3756,153.1839) were we twitched an Asian Dowitcher that was present. The hides can only be accessed with a key from the Harbour office but we scanned through the fence from the carpark which worked reasonable well.

Inskip point We first drove to the parking place at the end of Bullock point because the most recent sighting on eBird was in this area for Black-breasted Buttonquails. We found a good trail from the road to the campsite (trail starts at gps -25.8254, 153.0589) and found fresh platelets with droppings along this trail, but the Black-breasted Buttonquails might have been flushed earlier by a camper walking the trail. We also tried the area around the point itself but is was very busy with tourists (and we found no fresh platelets).

Yarraman Group of at least 3 Black-breasted Buttonquail found at -26.8351, 151.9656 by walking several meters into the forest from the trail (that runs on the edge of the forest). We first found lots of platelets and soon after the saw the birds. Eastern Grassowl at Kedron Brook Wetlands, We visited this place the last evening before we had to turn in our rental car. The Wetland is conveniently located close to airport. We waited for dusk to settle and saw the bird at 18:45 (at -27.4040, 153.0805)

11. Tasmania Near Hobart:

- Mt Wellington: Parked here: -42.9154, 147.2486 and walked trail for Scrubtit, Scrubwren, Strong-billed Honeyeater, Black Currawong, Tasmanian Thornbill.

- Peter Murrel State Reserve: We walked around here on our first afternoon finding Dusky Robin, Yellow-throated Honeyeater, Yellow Wattlebird. Fourty-spotted Pardalote is sometimes seen here.

- Waterworks We tried this area one night for (Tasmanian) Masked Owl, but sadly without results, two other nights the weather was so wet we didn’t go out to try.

Bruny island Forty-spotted pardalote quite easy along this road: -43.1356, 147.3586, Swift parrots are numerous along the coast in Adventure bay. Pink Robin is also seen near Adventure Bay but we didn’t try really hard since we had seen it earlier. Melaleuca We missed this part of Tasmania due to the weather… Eaglehawk Neck We should have looked into getting onto a pelagic here (although the winter trips are better), the pelagics here have very good results.

ANNOTATED SPECIES LISTWhat’smissingfromthetriplist:

- Missed species on our trip (species we tried for): o Chestnut-breasted Quailthrush – Couldn’t find it in Bladensburg NP despite prolonged searching o Red Goshawk – Couldn’t find them near Musgrave Roadhouse & around Katherine – no known nest

site (at least to us!) o Plains Wanderer – our trip with Phil Maher was without success due to prolonged drought. o Mangrove Fantail - Tried for at Karumba & Darwin without result. o White-breasted Whistler - Tried for at Karumba & Darwin. o Pictorella Mannakin - The road past Timber Creek was closed which was our best chance, is possible

elsewhere but didn’t see it. o Yellow-rumped Mannakin - The road past Timber Creek was closed which was our best chance, is

possible elsewhere but didn’t see it. o Star Finch - The road past Timber Creek was closed which was our best chance, is possible elsewhere

but didn’t see it. o Orange-bellied Parrot - Our trip to Melaleuca was cancelled due to the weather. o Australian Masked Owl - Tried for at Mt. Glorious & on Tasmania without result. o Beautiful Firetail – tried to find them on Bruny island at several spots but failed. Should be easy at

Melaleuca (OBP-spot) also possible at several mainland sites. o Little penguin – tried for them along the Neck on Bruny. The car park and the trail to the sea on the

other side was closed due to contructionworks, but we walked along the road the would come ashore on this side as well but we didn’t see any penguins, so try the eastern shore.

- No known sites at the moment/very difficult but occurs on or near this itinerary: o White-throated Grasswren – the regular site @gunlom falls in Kakadu hasn’t produced the birds for

some time due to too regular burning of it’s Spinifex habitat. o Night parrot - The reserves are out of bounds and we didn’t feel like driving around the Lark Quarry

NP area all night but would probably have given the best (tiny tiny tiny) chance. o Buff-breasted Buttonquail – extremely difficult to find in N Queensland. o Australian Painted Snipe – very difficult to find. o Scarlet-chested Parrot – In wet years they breed at Gluepot, but this was a very dry year. A reserve

north of Ceduna also gives you a chance but requires a 4WD o Princess Parrot – Birds where seen at Junniper Wells while we weere in Alice Springs, but this trip

should only be undertaken in a proper 4WD (and best would be to travel with at least two cars)

- Not seen/ not tried for but possible on this itinerary (other than waders/pelagic species/migrants): o Buff-breasted Paradise-kingfisher (not yet back in N Queensland from wintering area when we were

there – back from november) o Fairy Gerygony (seen in Papua). o Rufous Owl (seen in Papua). o Black-winged Monarch (seen in Papua).
