Birds Australia Shorebird 2020

Please find attached the Birds Australia Shorebird 2020 newsletter which mentions each states activity. In this edition (Page 7) I have mentioned BONE (Bird Observers North east), Friends of Bay of Fires and St Helens and St Marys District High School for their efforts in conservation and education. This newsletter reaches many different people and organisations in Australia and on the migratory shorebird flyway (East asian Australasian Flyway).

Well done to everyone!

It was a fabulous day on Wednesday, perfect weather and many great birds. The highlights for me were the Tawny-crowned Honeyeaters and Beautiful firetails. Liz

Thanks to Des for Bird List

St Columba Falls

Please find attached our list from St Columba Falls (thanks Des). Highlights were for some of us a male Pink Robin and for everyone a Bassian Thrush foraging within very close proximity and then again crossing the path later on! Scubtits were heard but not seen.
 
Nick and Annette have sent through some photos from St Columba for all to enjoy. Thank you both. I have attached a rather blurry and distant photo of the male pink robin's beautiful breast colouring.

Have a great month and see you at Sloop.

Kind regards,

Liz
