Seems a keen interest for some, so why not.

Hi AW, sounds like an awesome trip mate.

Any luck with Eastern Ground Parrot calls?

I know they are in the heathland here but I haven't had a chance to try and get a call.

FreeRide, dusk and early morning is the time to hear them calling, if they are there. The heath needs to be low, less than waist high. In the heath at Brooms Head is a good spot. The call is pretty unique, almost insect like. Have a listen to link below.

Thanks for posting that Distracted. Your description is pretty spot on. Not really birdlike.

I was just consulting zee bird book and the population here is extremely endangered but it enlightened me to the fact their habitat is scant on the mainland. Tiny pockets of remaining birds.

Might be them. They had issues a couple weeks ago with their shit up the wall.

In these photos you can see why the tree is so named, shape of the leaves. AW

One way they look like an emu footprint sorta. Middle toe too small.
Other way around they look like a bird flying or maybe a flying fox.

Seeds. Hi mate, hope you’re well.

Well, us mere Swellnutters are just basic ‘Joe Citizens’

It looks like you are a larger than life Queenslander, even holding back on the actual people from telling us you mix with the regalia within regional councils.

Driving in Warro National Park this morning , I found this, your social reach from the Noosa hinterland is greater than we all expected. A bit of fun. AW
