[QUOTE="podargus, post: 2937711, member: 109359"] [B][U]05/12/12[/U][/B] This day produced many of the species seen on the day before (which I certainly wasn’t complaining about) as well as my first views of [B]Paradise Riflebird[/B] – it was really quite special seeing my first birds of paradise. Firstly a female near the accommodation and then a male a bit later in the same area which drew attention to itself by raining bits of rotten wood down onto the path ahead of me. In the forest we had a few glimpses of [B]Red-legged Pademelon[/B], and near the visitor centre there was an impressive [B]Land Mullet[/B] basking before moving off into cover. Later in the day I made a half-hearted attempt to trek over to the Rufous Scrub-bird area, but weather conditions were pretty poor and so I had to leave it. A nice adult male [B]Rose Robin[/B] and a [B]Grey Goshawk[/B] was pretty good compensation though. The weather was too bad for spotlighting that evening, but away in the distance I could hear the ‘falling bomb’ of a [B]Sooty Owl[/B], which was pretty awesome even if I didn’t get to see the bird. [B][U]06/12/12[/U][/B] An early walk on our final day in Lamington produced my number one target and another very special species – a female [B]Albert’s Lyrebird[/B] rushing off down a slope. This was on the same track as the Paradise Riflebirds from yesterday, a very productive little area! Later we went on a longer walk, where the definite highlight was seeing a few gorgeous [B]Rose-crowned Fruit-doves[/B], while to continue the pigeon theme a [B]White-headed Pigeon[/B] and a few [B]Brown Cuckoo-doves[/B] were also nice to see. Lamington really is an awesome area, and it’s a place that I’d love to explore further one day. That was it for my parent's trip and it had been a great few weeks of wildlife-ing. Fortunately I had my next adventure lined up to start a few days later, so withdrawal symptoms weren't going to be a problem! [B][U]Birds[/U][/B] [B]280. Paradise Riflebird 281.
