• Rufous(Little) Shrike Thrush? (This bird has had me stumped for 30 years, what is it? Looks like a Grey Thrush but smaller and with smooth rufous underparts, perhaps like the NT version of the female Rufous Whistler but not streaked)

This year has been a drought year, it's been the driest summer I remember with devastating fires up and down the East Coast of Australia.
One very hot day in December a wallaby came to the back of the house panting in the heat. We put a small container of water out but I didn't see it return, later we put a decent tub out with fish in it the same as we have in 2 other places around the house. This has increased the bird activity here this year and it's been lovely to see so many, but scary to have things so tinder dry.

Back to Mount Coolum

After 3 lovely years on our Rainforest block out at Ninderry, we moved back to Mount Coolum 18 months ago. We have lived in this house on and off for 25 years and as surrounding gardens have become established we have noticed quite a lot of change in the birdlife here. Our house is adjacent to a gully on the northern slopes of Mt. Coolum.
