Today we had 4 Bushcare Volunteers for the monthly Rogers Reserve Working Bee at 9am, followed by an additional 5 people who came for the 10am tour and fire management talk for local residents. Today's working bee concentrated on rubbish removal, asparagus fern regrowth removal, mossman river grass removal, fauna surveys of the nesting box and birdlife visiting tree hollows. We had a new bird sighting today of a Budgerigar high in the tree tops, a few were heard and then spotted by Brendon. Very rare however Budgie flocks are known to visit our region in periods of western drought. The Toowoomba Bird Observers club confirmed last night that recent small flocks of Budgies have been seen this week at USQ Toowoomba, so we are not to rule out this sighting.
Birdlife list today included:
- Budgerigars x 4
- Cockatiel
- White-browed Scrub Wren
- Weebill
- Brown Thornbill
- Red-browed Finch
- Noisy Miner
- Galah
- Sulphur-crested Cockatoo
- Rainbow Lorikeet
- Scaley-breasted Lorikeet
- Un-identified Bird of Prey
- Australian Magpie
- Laughing Kookaburra
- Common Bronzewing
Nesting box survey results were very exciting - details to come in a separate post.
