Birdline
Central & Southern Queensland
Birdline Central & Southern Queensland is a site for the reporting of rare or unusual birds outside their normal range, unusually high or low numbers, early or late arrivals or departures for migrant species and interesting behaviour or unusual habitat usage. The BSCQ region covers a large area from south of Ayr to the New South Wales Border and west to the Northern Territory border.

The Moderators have adopted a 2 tier sightings system. All legitimate reports will be published,with some sightings which the Moderators consider to be unusual for rarity, distribution or timing being published as 'Highlights' on this page. The following link will appear after sighting submissions which contains information about the species of interest plus the Unusual Record Report Form to be completed and submitted for relevant sightings: http://www.tonypalliser.com/barc.
Reports that do not meet the reporting criteria will not be published and we encourage all individuals to submit lists to ensure their sightings are included. We encourage any one with a long list of species to enter them into eBird Australia.
The Atlas and list entry components of Eremaea Birds moved to a new site called eBird Australia on 1st February 2014. Birdlines will remain here. In the meantime for entering all your lists register with eBird at www.ebird.org.

Terrigal Haven |

| Amanda Ward-Collins photographed an adult White Wagtail on Tuesday (22/4) morning at 8:30am on the rocks around from (south of) Terrigal Haven / Terrigal Point, roughly below the middle lookout. The bird was subsequently briefly seen this morning (23/4) at 7:30am in roughly the same location before it flew strongly (with vocalisations) towards Terrigal CBD. Nearby playing fields / bowling greens and other likely locations were then inspected but the bird has not been seen again. |
