Dear All
I'm travelling up to Mount Isa at the weekend, overseeing some remote ecological surveys and doing some other environmental stuff, setting up a weather station etc. on part of the Barkly Tablelands for the week. I've spoken to Bob Forsyth about 'what's about' round Mount Isa - but has anyone birded the Tablelands recently? Any little Letter-winged Kite colonies up there that I haven't heard about!?!
I'll be out looking of course and will report back what I find but any info. would be great.
thanksRob Morris Brisbane, Australia

Noted, the Barkly Tablelands are a big area! I have a 4WD and will be mobile though. I am staying at the barkly Roadhouse for the week and travelling to and from Mount Isa on Monday / next weekend. I am working in a remote location most of the week some 60-70km from the roadhouse.

I saw a lone Flock Bronzewing drinking at the Playford River crossing last Wednesday (30 April). No sign of the Yellow Chat at the bore 21 km north of here.....oh well....
If you feel the need for a drive I saw Gouldian Finch with chicks at the T&T site for Carpentarian G'wren west of Borroloola (only about 450 km from the road house). The Tablelands Hwy is a great drive, spectacular in bits, less so in the cow country.
Hope this helps.
