Some comments
 Buckley’s Birds: ... a cold and very windy day on Bribie Island. Still it was a very enjoyable day both socially and bird wise. We are all looking forward to doing it again next year. Great to catch up with our friends from Bribie Island.
Archeopteryx: …strong gusty winds with dust. The birds stayed home, and we are glad we did too!
Wader Mania: A nice few hours around the lake birding.
Verandah Rails: A pleasant day on the verandah overlooking the backyard and adjacent properties, with views out to the coast.
Sawtell Public School: A great day with sea birds, waders and forest birds turning up for us. We could also see whales from our circle. Great to see the high school kids becoming skilled birders. They really look forward to the day.
Nutty Twitchers: turned out during the day in adverse weather conditions. At 6 am it was 3.6°C and 6.9°C at 12.45 pm with strong gusty winds and intermittent showers. The favourite bird of the day, the last one recorded (4.30 pm), the Scarlet Robin.
“Save Our Jarrah”: We come from Jarrahdale, WA. Our forest is in imminent danger of being logged. We have formed an action group called “Jarrahdale Forest Protectors”. You can check out our website saveourjarrah.com.au. We decided to choose a site in the Mundlimup forest to let people know what sorts of birds depend on it. It was a beautiful day and the heritage society conducted an open, guided bush-walk to show off the many beautiful orchids currently flowering there. It was hard to choose a spot. Should we stay near flowering dryandra or wattle and see more honeyeaters, should we stay on the edge of the forest and maybe see raptors? If we had been there in the dark we would have heard boobooks and frogmouths. As novices, we did the best we could, chose a spot among the trees near a creek and ended with a list of 15. We did hear more but weren’t expert enough to identify calls. We had great fun and can’t wait to do it again next year providing we still have a forest to twitch in.
The Hinterland Trio: Weather was disappointing with very strong cold winds and dust particularly early in the day. Less than the usual number of species although a new bird for my house list, Darter.
