| Sacred Kingfishers |
We hopped down to Terra Nora to check out the new arrivals. We have been noting subtle shifts in the species down here as winter approaches. Kingfishers - notably absent all summer, are again making an appearance.
A Striated Heron well hidden in the trees on the shoreline
Varied Triller -
A Rufous Whistler enjoying a snack (anyone who dreams of coming back as a bird so they can fly, really ought to watch what birds eat for a while...)
A photo from a prior Lamington Trip - the Green Catbird is another frequently heard but hard to spot species. A unique call - a bit like a really irritated cat (see lower R-side of http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Ailuroedus-crassirostris). They tend to stay high in the canopy - which in the rainforest is well nigh invisible!
