What's on the morning menu?


Snail for White-browed Crake (Amaurornis cinerea).

Stillborn katydid(?) for Macleay's Honeyeater (Xanthotis macleayanus)

Red Tie Bush (Wikstroemia indica) fruit  for Brown Cuckoo-Dove (Macropygia amboinensis)

Immature Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus) at edge of temporary pool by the highway near Ingham.


White-browed Crake (Amaurornis cinerea) takes a stylish turn on the main lagoon at Tyto ...
