Gold Creek - Brisbane

[Nick Leseberg <>]

Hello All,

Spent a couple of hours this morning birding the entrance road to Gold Creek 
Reservoir, west of Brisbane. 

It was a productive morning, and I eventually found a couple of White-eared 
Monarchs, the specialty at this site. I also saw a pair of Spectacled Monarchs 
and there were several Black-faced Monarchs around as well for the trifecta. 
Next best bird was a lone Yellow-eyed Cuckoo-Shrike, as well as Cicadabird and 
Varied Triller, while a Shining Bronze-Cuckoo was heard calling initially and 
finally seen. Amongst other more common birds recorded were Spangled Drongos, 
Pied Currawong, Noisy Friarbird, Fan-tailed Cuckoo, Spotted Pardalote, Bell 
Miner and an Azure Kingfisher along one of the creeklines. An enjoyable start 
to the day.

Cheers and good birding!
