| | Beach Stone-curlew
Burleigh Heads National Park |
| Single BEACH Stone-curlew flew in from the heads and onto the rocky shore along the Talllebudgera Creek inlet on the Burleigh side, calling, around 130pm. Stayed for 30 seconds then flew across to the other side and towards the ocean again. Heard it call for a few more minutes but didn't see it again.
To avoid misunderstandings, there is no doubt that it was a Beach rather than a Bush Stone-curlew. It gave several unmistakable calls, I saw it, and I have worked with Bush Stone-curlews and am a Guide at O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat. I also spoke to the Park Rangers working on the track immediately above where it landed who saw it and they may pass the info to others in QLDNP. eBird checklist Further information |

| Wed 2 | | Swift Parrot
Durikai State Forest |
|
| A minimum of 8 Swift Parrots were observed and photographed in the northern section of Durikai State Forest on the 26th July. The birds were feeding in flowering Broad-leaved Ironbark and what could be a hybrid ironbark species. The northern part of Durikai currently has good blossom in Broad-leaved / Mugga Ironbark trees and there is bud showing on Yellow Box and Forest Red Gums. The Swift Parrots were recorded amongst 13 species of honeyeaters and 3 species of lorikeets. Other good birds found included Turquoise Parrot and Diamond Firetail.
