Prince Henry Drive Park
Not deterred by overcast skies and forecast showers, an intrepid team of five members of BSQDD and/or TBO undertook the first systematic group surveys of birds in the lower section of Prince Henry Drive Park on 11 May 2024.

Prince Henry Drive
Today’s excursion at Prince Henry Drive was rescheduled from destinations proposed earlier, which proved unworkable at this time. As always, we enjoyed easy birding with the advantage of being able to look down on some tree tops.
Saturday the 9th of March 2024 was the Parks Week Open Day – this time at Duggan Park.

Lake Broadwater
Braving dense fog (in Toowoomba) and hordes of mosquitoes on site, 11 birders visited Lake Broadwater (via Dalby) early on 10 February for the fourth excursion to this conservation park by BirdLife’s Darling Downs group.
In 2020, Lockyer Uplands Catchments Incorporated (LUCI) started a project to survey birds on properties of its members living in the upper (western) part of the Lockyer Creek catchment, South-East Queensland. The project aligned with LUCI’s strategic vision “to improve native
habitat connectivity across private and public tenures in our local landscape” and LUCI’s three objectives: raising awareness of natural systems; encouraging better land management options; and improving environmental outcomes.
Surveys were carried out by Birdlife Southern Queensland Darling Downs Branch together with the Toowoomba Bird Observers Club. This is a report on the project after the survey activities from 2021 to 2023
