  • Papua New Guinea Huon Peninsula Extension 26Th June to 1St July 2018 (6 Days) Trip Report
    Papua New Guinea Huon Peninsula Extension 26th June to 1st July 2018 (6 days) Trip Report Pesquet’s Parrots by Sue Wright Tour Leader: Adam Walleyn Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Papua New Guinea Trip Report – RBL Papua New Guinea - Huon Peninsula Extension I 2018 2 Tour Summary This was our inaugural Huon Peninsula Extension. Most of the group started out with a quick flight from Moresby into Nadzab Airport. Upon arrival, we drove to our comfortable hotel on the outskirts of Lae City. After getting settled in, we set off on a short but very productive bird walk around the hotel’s expansive grounds. The best thing about the walk was how confiding the birds were –they are clearly not hunted much around here! Red-cheeked Parrot, Coconut Lorikeet, Orange-bellied Fruit Dove, Torresian Imperial Pigeon, White-bellied Cuckooshrike, Yellow-faced Myna, and Singing Starling all vied for our attention right in the parking lot. As we took a short wander, we added Hooded Butcherbird, New Guinea Friarbird and look-alike Brown Oriole, and Black and Olive-backed Sunbirds to our growing tally. A Buff-faced Pygmy Parrot zipped overhead providing just a quick view, but the highlight of the walk was clearly the Palm Cockatoo that sat out feeding contentedly on fruits – admittedly a bit of a surprise to find this species so close to a major urban centre! We were relieved when Sue had arrived and Pinon’s Imperial Pigeon by Markus Lilje joined us for dinner to complete the group! The real adventure began early the next morning, with a drive back to the airport where we were to board our flight into the Huon.

  • The Rainbow Bird
    The Rainbow Bird Volume 5 Number 3 August 2016 (Issue 87) MALLEE, MARLEE OR MAWLEY It might be interesting to club members to know that the word "mallee" is derived from the aboriginal word for the Eucalyptus Dumosa, perhaps the main species of mallee in this area. I guess that the aboriginals also used the term to cover all the various species now known by that name. European surveyors originally spelt the word in various ways. "Mallee", "Mar-lie" and then "Marlee" were variants. Later still the spelling "Mallay" was also used and in 1849 the spelling "Mawley" was sometimes used. However, in the late 1870’s South Australian wheat growers moved in to settle the mallee country, between SA Murray and southern Victorian Mallee area, and the present spelling of the word became standardised. I gleaned this information from an old book of my father’s on the Murray Valley that was written by J MacDonald Holmes and published by Angus and Robertson in 1948. Allan Taylor Contents 1.

    Field Guides Tour Report Australia Part 2 2019 Oct 22, 2019 to Nov 11, 2019 John Coons & Doug Gochfeld For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Water is a precious resource in the Australian deserts, so watering holes like this one near Georgetown are incredible places for concentrating wildlife. Two of our most bird diverse excursions were on our mornings in this region. Photo by guide Doug Gochfeld. Australia. A voyage to the land of Oz is guaranteed to be filled with novelty and wonder, regardless of whether we’ve been to the country previously. This was true for our group this year, with everyone coming away awed and excited by any number of a litany of great experiences, whether they had already been in the country for three weeks or were beginning their Aussie journey in Darwin. Given the far-flung locales we visit, this itinerary often provides the full spectrum of weather, and this year that was true to the extreme. The drought which had gripped much of Australia for months on end was still in full effect upon our arrival at Darwin in the steamy Top End, and Georgetown was equally hot, though about as dry as Darwin was humid. The warmth persisted along the Queensland coast in Cairns, while weather on the Atherton Tablelands and at Lamington National Park was mild and quite pleasant, a prelude to the pendulum swinging the other way. During our final hours below O’Reilly’s, a system came through bringing with it strong winds (and a brush fire warning that unfortunately turned out all too prescient).

  • Nesting and Foraging by a Pair of Striped Honeyeaters at Baradine, New South Wales
    88 AUSTRALIAN FIELD ORNITHOLOGY 2005 , 22, 88-103 Nesting and Foraging by a Pair of Striped Honeyeaters at Baradine, New South Wales K.A. WOOD1 and ANDREW J. LEY2 17 Maralinga Drive, Ashmore, Queensland 4214 219 Lynches Road, Armidale, New South Wales 2350 Summary A breeding pair of Striped Honeyeaters Plectorhyncha lanceolata was observed at three nests at Baradine, northern New South Wales, for 43.3, 25 .8 and 42.5 hours overall in the nest-building, incubation and nestling phases respectively during spring 2003. The breeding home-range around one nest (nest 2) was 4.2 ha, dominated by mature White Cypress Pines Callitris glaucophylla. Both parents defended a small area within a radius of about 20m from the nest and were engaged almost equally in nest-building, incubation and feeding a single nestling. The mean rate at which both parents fed the nestling was 11.3 (range 4.3-16.7) visits/hour. The female's brooding effort was three times greater th an that of the male, but the male uttered most (88%) solo songs and performed most (if not all) territorial song-flights. Overall, there were at least twice the number of calls and displays during nest-building as during incubation or while feeding the young. Food, foraging, and use of feet, as we ll as flight and comfort behaviour, are also described. Introduction In the family Meliphagidae, the Striped Honeyeater Plectorhyncha lanceolata is a medium-sized monotypic species (length 22 em, weight 40 g) with a spear-shaped bill, a black-and-white striped head and long buffy-white lanceolated feathers on the upper breast (Schodde & Tidemann 1986; Longmore 1991).
