RECENT BIRDING AT COORAN, SUNSHINE COAST

10,000 Birds

I was asked by a new birder about the site’s potential and I remarked we should expect between 40 to 50 species for our circa two kilometre stroll. A crop of Eucalypt trees had been planted and clearly coppiced, apparently to feed recovering koalas from Steve Irwin’s [he of Crocodile Hunter fame] family’s zoo and wildlife hospital.

15 Australian Birds (Episode 1)

10,000 Birds

So, the basic idea is to show 15 species of Australian birds in each post and give you the usual trivia about them. This species has also eliminated the need for childcare – the chicks emerge from this pile on their own and never even get to see their parents. Similarly, the Grey Shrikethrush is neither a shrike nor a thrush.

Fish Creek to Buffalo

10,000 Birds

There was a Koala doing…nothing! Koala doing…nothing! The Koala then had an itch, so there was a little bit of action! Over the return trip from Fish Creek to Buffalo I encountered over forty species of birds. I suddenly noticed a distant shape in the trees that was large and round!

Foster to Fish Creek

10,000 Birds

Some species I know I will see and other species I don’t observe on every walk. There are a few species that I hear a lot more often than I see and one bird in particular is the Eastern Whipbird. Silvereyes are another bird species that I encounter on a regular basis as they flit through the trees calling as they move.
