It was a beautiful early spring day; cool but never too hot. Some rain a couple of days before gave everything a fresh feeling and it was a joy to be out and about, with the splendid scarp of the Lamington Plateau and the Border Ranges ahead of us. Lost World never disappoints and on a sunny spring morning there were so many birds about it was hard keeping up with them.

It was ‘The Day of the Pink Robin’ for those members of the Tamborine NHA Bird Group who set off on May 11 for the Lower Beechmont Reserve. The sky was determinedly overcast but this didn’t dampen the spirits of our merry group of ten, led by Julie. When we got to Clagiraba Creek at 7 am the birds were only just waking up but by the time we parked at the entrance to the reserve there was plenty of action to keep our binoculars busy. Pink Robins (male and female) were sighted not far from the gate on the same ridge where we saw them a couple of years ago. And after that there were Pink Robins everywhere!

The July 2016 expedition turned out to be surprisingly fruitful, bearing in mind this is usually the worst birding month of the year in terms of species and we covered only the small area from Beaudesert to what is now called Wyaralong. We got a very creditable count of 83 species which was a lot more than most of us had expected. Our focus was on Old Beaudesert Road and the area just east of it around the top end of Lake Wyaralong, though we included all birds seen along the Beaudesert-Boonah Road.

The purpose of the bird walk this month was to observe the migrating waders on their feeding grounds at the Port of Brisbane and Moreton Bay. From here the migrating birds will travel the East Asian Flyway to Siberia and the Arctic Tundra to breed in the Northern summer and then as the Northern winter approaches make the return journey south to our sunny shores.

Eighteen walkers enjoyed a windy but beautiful sunny day viewing the spectacular scenery around Mt Cordeaux.
The story of the day was the rescue of an injured Sugar Glider. This is the message from Wendy. "It was a great day and I’d like to advise everyone that after seeking help from the RSPCA, we delivered the injured sugar glider to the Jimboomba Veterinary Surgery around 5pm on Saturday and its injuries will be treated free of charge. Precise details of where the glider was found have been provided and should it survive, it will be released back into the wild".

Fourteen walkers enjoyed a cool but beautiful sunny day viewing the spectacular Warrie Circuit.
We all met at Canyon Lookout to start the walk in sunny but cold conditions with a brisk wind which was chilling everyone. We decided quickly to get moving to try and warm up.
With fourteen walkers, the conversations were flowing thick and fast. So much so that I completely lost track of where were and missed the junction to the Pinnacle. I actually didn't realise until we had passed lower Ngarri-Dhum Falls (where we had our Smoko) by one kilometre.

Eight walkers enjoyed a cool but beautiful sunny day viewing the spectacular Back Creek Falls all the more spectacular after heavy rain. There used to be a clear track which made its way down past six spectacular falls along Back Creek. From Denham Reserve they are in order Denham Falls, Lip Falls, Cavern Falls, Rainbow Falls, Double Falls and Cascade Falls. Numerous rock falls destroyed parts of the track and the rest fell into disrepair.

Why does attentiveness to nature matter? In a very fundamental sense, we are what we pay attention to. Paying heed to beauty, grace, and everyday miracles promotes a sense of possibility and coherence that runs deeper and truer than the often illusory commercial, social "realities" advanced by mainstream contemporary culture. ... Our attention is precious, and what we choose to focus it on has enormous consequences. What we choose to look at, and to listen to--these choices change the world. As Thich Nhat Hanh has pointed out, we become the bad television programs that we watch. A society that expends its energies tracking the latest doings of the celebrity couple is fundamentally distinct from one that watches for the first arriving spring migrant birds, or takes a weekend to check out insects in a mountain stream, or looks inside flowers to admire the marvelous ingenuities involved in pollination. The former tends to drag culture down to its lowest commonalities; the latter can lift us up in a sense of unity with all life.
