Yep seen nesting down to Sarina, Grasstree, Lousia Creek, Koumala,Carmila,St Lawrence and all the way up north to Port Douglas (on my aunts back verandah)...other then that just flying around....wouldnt think they would nest further south then Yeppoon?arthur wrote:My guess would have been coastal from the Cape to about Sarina / Saint Lawrence
Can't remember them around R'ton as a kid but Rocky is not really coastal
VP is a Hervey Bay boy, so he may be able to join a few dots
Have you seen them in the Hunter iaos?

No I haven't. I don't have a copy of our local bird observers club annual report handy, but from memory there has been two records in the last 30 years.arthur wrote:My guess would have been coastal from the Cape to about Sarina / Saint Lawrence

I found an old report. "Recorded 1985-86, 2006".
It is on the NSW Orinithological Records Appraisal Committee list meaning it is a vagrant to NSW and all records are scrutinised before accepted and recorded.

Don't know what's happening . .
No sign of them for last couple of days & no building activity
This morning 2 birds at the nest, but appeared to be looking not building
On closer observation (through a flyscreen door) saw that they were both hens
Away for a couple of days so will be interesting to see progress when I return

Have figured out that they must work to coal-miners roster . . 2 or 3 days on / 2 or 3 days off
She has started on the nesting cavity and saw her stretching it yesterday
