I was Paddling from Kirwins Bridge to Nagambie earlier this year (2012) and realised there were so many different types of birds in the general area, so I have decided to make it a bird themed series.
Dont forget to collect the number from the log sheet for the final cache of the series.
Some interesting Information about......Magpie-lark
The Magpie-lark (Grallina cyanoleuca) is a conspicuous Australian bird of small to medium size, also known as the Mudlark in Victoria and Western Australia, the Murray Magpie in South Australia, and as the Peewee in New South Wales and Queensland. It had been relegated to a subfamily of fantails in the family Dicruridae (drongos), but has been placed in a new family of Monarchidae (monarch flycatchers) since 2008.[2] It is a common and very widespread bird both in urban and rural areas, occupying all parts of Australia except for Tasmania and some of the inland desert in the far north-west of Western Australia, and appears to have adapted well to the presence of humans. It is also found in southern New Guinea.
