NOVEMBER 30, 2015

Since we returned from Melbourne in May we have spent a lot of time in remote parts of northern Australia enjoying the bird-life. In recent weeks we have pondered over the fact that it is almost twenty years since we had a “first for Australia” and that was a Blue and White Flycatcher on 5th December 1995.

Crested Pigeons – Ocyphaps lophotes are very widespread throughout Australia and can easily be observed in Broome on the streetlights on a wintery morning. Although Crested Pigeons are quite a common bird Australia-wide you don’t always find a nest, so that you are able to observe the family grow.

In Australia we definitely have our fair share of invasive species and the main problem is that we are such a huge land mass with such a small population. The population of Australia is concentrated mainly around the city areas along the coast and many invasive species have been able to spread with ease.

Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes – Coracina novaehollandiae are a common bird species around our home in Broome, Western Australia. They are present throughout much of Australia and as their name would suggest they have a black face! They have one very distinct feature when they land, which is that they shuffle their wings.

Despite all of the restrictions on our travel we are fortunate that it does not stop birds from entering Western Australia. Western Australia remains closed to the rest of Australia and the world and we do not have any Covid cases in the community, so life appears to be quite normal here.

Platypus prefer a water habitat and their location in Australia means we have rarely travelled to where they live.

One race lives to the north- Geophaps plumifera plumifera and the other race lives to the south- Geophaps plumifera ferrugines.

In fact it is a rather dull bird for Australia! If you came across a Lemon-bellied Flycatcher further north in Australia you would easily believe it was a different species. The Kimberley Flycatcher that we encountered at the Derby wharf was quite a cooperative bird. It was not bothered at all by our presence under the large trees.
