  • Eastern Australia: October-November 2016
    Tropical Birding Trip Report Eastern Australia: October-November 2016 A Tropical Birding SET DEPARTURE tour EASTERN AUSTRALIA: From Top to Bottom 23rd October – 11th November 2016 The bird of the trip, the very impressive POWERFUL OWL Tour Leader: Laurie Ross All photos in this report were taken by Laurie Ross/Tropical Birding. 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report Eastern Australia: October-November 2016 INTRODUCTION The Eastern Australia Set Departure Tour introduces a huge amount of new birds and families to the majority of the group. We started the tour in Cairns in Far North Queensland, where we found ourselves surrounded by multiple habitats from the tidal mudflats of the Cairns Esplanade, the Great Barrier Reef and its sandy cays, lush lowland and highland rainforests of the Atherton Tablelands, and we even made it to the edge of the Outback near Mount Carbine; the next leg of the tour took us south to Southeast Queensland where we spent time in temperate rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests within Lamington National Park. The third, and my favorite leg, of the tour took us down to New South Wales, where we birded a huge variety of new habitats from coastal heathland to rocky shorelines and temperate rainforests in Royal National Park, to the mallee and brigalow of Inland New South Wales. The fourth and final leg of the tour saw us on the beautiful island state of Tasmania, where we found all 13 “Tassie” endemics. We had a huge list of highlights, from finding a roosting Lesser Sooty Owl in Malanda; to finding two roosting Powerful Owls near Brisbane; to having an Albert’s Lyrebird walk out in front of us at O Reilly’s; to seeing the rare and endangered Regent Honeyeaters in the Capertee Valley, and finding the endangered Swift Parrot on Bruny Island, in Tasmania.

Box 154, Brooklyn, New South Wales, Australia 2083 4 Boston University, 23 Knollwood Drive, East Falmouth, MA 02536, USA * Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Dryandra Woodland, a Class A conservation reserve, on the western edge of the Western Australian wheatbelt lacks the large congregations of nectar-feeding birds associated with eucalypt woodlands to the north and east of the wheatbelt. Reasons for this are not clear, but the most productive woodlands (Wandoo Eucalyptus wandoo ) at Dryandra are dominated by Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters ( Lichenostomus ornatus ), which exclude smaller honeyeaters from their colonies. There is also comparatively little eucalypt blossom available to nectar- feeders during winter and spring when we conducted our research at Dryandra. During winter and spring, honey- eaters are dependent on small areas of shrublands dominated by species of Dryandra (Proteaceae), with species segregated by size; the smaller species making greater use of the small inflorescences of D. sessilis and D. ar- mata , while the large wattlebirds used the large inflorescences of D. nobilis . Honeyeaters at Dryandra also use other energy-rich sources of carbohydrates, such as lerp and honeydew, and take arthropods, segregating by habi- tat, foraging behaviour, and substrate.

  • Strathfieldsaye Estate Monitoring. Report by Chris Healey
    STRATHFIELDSAYE ESTATE BIRD MONITORING PROJECT: INTERIM REPORT FOR 2018 Chris Healey and Brian Martin INTRODUCTION: This is a preliminary report on the first twelve months of a project to monitor the diversity and abundance of birds of the Strathfieldsaye Estate grazing property on the shore of Lake Wellington at Perry Bridge, East Gippsland. We anticipate being able to release a more detailed report early in 2019. In late 2017 BirdLife East Gippsland (BLEG) was invited by the Australian Landscape Trust (ALT) to undertake regular bird monitoring surveys of their Strathfieldsaye Estate property at Perry River. The estate is a historic property established in the late 19th century,and bequeathed by the late Dr Clive Disher to the University of Melbourne. Ownership was transferred subsequently to the ALT, which manages the property as an ecologically sustainable organic grazing property. The bird surveys form a part of a larger fauna survey initiative of the ALT with Victorian government funding under the 'Bio-diversity On-ground Action – Community and Volunteer Action’ program. The bird survey program was established in consultation with Ms Madeline Watts, Ecologist with ALT, and overall project manager. The estate covers approximately 2000 hectares, and includes a heritage listed homestead and farm outbuildings. It also includes a ‘bombing range’ used as a training facility by the RAAF during World War Two (the ‘bombs’ consisted of flour bags!) While most of the property has been cleared of the original Red Gum grassy plains vegetation, significant remnants remain, along with several other threatened vegetation communities. The ALT has sought to protect and restore native vegetation through stock exclusion of selected areas and management of the large numbers of Grey Kangaroos.

  • Checklist of the Birds of Western Australia R.E
    Checklist of the Birds of Western Australia R.E. Johnstone and J.C. Darnell Western Australian Museum, Perth, Western Australia 6000 April 2016 ____________________________________ The area covered by this Western Australian Checklist includes the seas and islands of the adjacent continental shelf, including Ashmore Reef. Refer to a separate Checklist for Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Criterion for inclusion of a species or subspecies on the list is, in most cases, supported by tangible evidence i.e. a museum specimen, an archived or published photograph or detailed description, video tape or sound recording. Amendments to the previous Checklist have been carried out with reference to both global and regional publications/checklists. The prime reference material for global coverage has been the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) World Bird List, The Clements Checklist of Birds of the World, the Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volume, 1 (Lynx Edicions, Barcelona), A Checklist of the Birds of Britain, 8th edition, the Checklist of North American Birds and, for regional coverage, Zoological Catalogue of Australia volume 37.2 (Columbidae to Coraciidae), The Directory of Australian Birds, Passerines and the Working List of Australian Birds (Birdlife Australia). The advent of molecular investigation into avian taxonomy has required, and still requires, extensive and ongoing revision at all levels – family, generic and specific. This revision to the ‘Checklist of the Birds of Western Australia’ is a collation of the most recent information/research emanating from such studies, together with the inclusion of newly recorded species. As a result of the constant stream of publication of new research in many scientific journals, delays of its incorporation into the prime sources listed above, together with the fact that these are upgraded/re-issued at differing intervals and that their authors may hold varying opinions, these prime references, do on occasion differ.

  • 1 Description and Assessment of the Nature Conservation
    DESCRIPTION AND ASSESSMENT OF THE NATURE CONSERVATION VALUES OF BENJE-BENJENUP LAKE AND ADJACENT BUSHLAND 1.0 INTRODUCTON Lake Benje-Benjenup and its adjacent bushland are located 17 km north north east of Esperance on the south east coast of WA. The lake is within unvested reserve no. 14563 of 149 ha gazetted in 1913 for ‘water’. The lake has maximum dimensions of 1.2 x 1.0 km and an area of approximately 90 ha. The adjacent bushland is to the east of the lake on Esperance location 650, which is privately owned by N & P Blumann and part of the farming property ‘Olimarena’. Approximately 85 ha of 130 ha of remnant bush is the subject of this assessment. ‘Benje-Benjenup’ is of aboriginal derivation, the meaning is unrecorded by Department of Land Information; the name was first used for the lake on a plan drafted by surveyor R Brazier in 1894. The regional setting of the lake is in Coramup Creek catchment, a sub-catchment of the Lake Warden system of southward flowing drainages and high value coastal wetlands including Lakes Warden, Woody and part of Lake Mullett which are RAMSAR wetlands. However, the lake appears to function as an internally draining system independent of the larger catchment; it is fed by brackish seepages along the shoreline and a saline creek of approximately 6 km length entering from the north west. Benje-Benjenup Lake is described as a ‘permanent saline lake’ in fair condition, requiring significant management intervention in the biodiversity audit of WA’s Biogeographical Regions (May & McKenzie 2002).

Prendergast, Drumblair House, Forgue, Nr Huntly Aberdeen Shire, Ab5 6EE, SCOTLAND. Received: 24 December 1986 INTRODUCTION The movement by which the two mandibles of a bird are rapidly and audibly brought together is called Bill- snapping. The best source of information on bill-snapping in Australian birds is the Reader's Digest Complete Book of Australian Birds (R.D.): instances of bill-snapping are recorded, inter alia, from courtship displays eg. Black- necked Stork (Xenorhynchus asiaticus) and some albatrosses (Diomedea spp.), in song eg. Little Wattlebird (Anthochaera chrysoptera) and during aggressive behaviour eg. Flame Robin (Petroica phoenicea). It was as a result of watching frequent bouts of aggression by a pair of Red Wattlebirds (Anthochaera carunculata) towards other species that I became interested in bill-snapping, which I heard during almost every chase by these birds. I had never encountered such obvious bill-snapping among European birds so I began watching for and documenting it. This paper summarises my observations, which supplement those mentioned in R.D. (see Appendix). OBSERVATIONS: see Table 1, pages 88 and 89. Aggression Twelve (or thirteen; see footnote 3, Table 1) species (of six families) bill-snapped whilst pursuing the same or other species from breeding territories. Insect hawking Nine species (of three families) were heard bill- snapping whilst hawking for aerial insects. Song The Crimson Rosella bill-snapped whilst perched. It wasn't breeding nearby, no other bird was present, and no calls were heard so song may be an inappropriate term.
