Australia (Pizzey & Knight, The Field Guide to the Birds of Australia, 2012). It breeds in sheltered locations such as caves and rock overhangs.
Project area There are no records within 10 km of the Project area and therefore species is unlikely to be present Possible : 1 ALA record 4.2 km east of the Project area.

Cattle Egrets ( Bubulcus ibis ) typically inhabit stock paddocks, agricultural land, garbage tips, wetlands, tidal areas, drains. Widespread coastally summer migrant from Kimberly, WA to coastal regions of eastern Australia (Pizzey & Knight, The Field Guide to the Birds of Australia, 2012). The rainbow bee-eater ( Merops ornatus ) is abundant throughout most of Australia. It is a breeding migrant in the SE and SW of the country and a breeding resident in north. Throughout inland areas it is generally regarded as a passage migrant (Pizzey & Knight, The Field Guide to the Birds of Australia, 2012). It occurs in an extensive array of habitats across the continent. Curlew sandpipers ( Calidris ferruginea ) usually inhabit intertidal mudflats, such as lagoons, bays, estuaries, inlets etc. The species is recorded less often inland around permanent and ephemeral water sources such as dams, ponds, lakes, waterholes. Inland records are sparse. (Pizzey & Knight, The Field Guide to the Birds of Australia, 2012). The Black-faced Monarch ( Monarcha melanopsis ) is widespread in eastern Australia (Blakers, Davies, & Reilly, 1984); (Coates, 1990a); (Schodde & I.J., 1999). In Queensland, it is widespread from the islands of the Torres Strait and on Cape York Peninsula, south along the coasts (occasionally including offshore islands) and the eastern slopes of the Great Divide, to the New South Wales border (Beruldsen, 1990); (Blakers, Davies, & Reilly, 1984); (Draffan, S.T., & G.J., 1983); (Storr, 1984c). The Black-faced Monarch mainly occurs in rainforest ecosystems, including semi-deciduous vine-thickets, complex notophyll vine-forest, tropical (mesophyll) rainforest, subtropical (notophyll) rainforest, mesophyll (broadleaf) thicket/shrubland, warm temperate rainforest, dry (monsoon) rainforest and (occasionally) cool temperate rainforest (Blakers, Davies, & Reilly, 1984); (Bravery, 1970); (Emison, Beardsell, Norman, Loyn, & Bennett, 1987); (Ford, A., & N., 1980); (Gill, 1970); (Gosper, 1992); (Laurence, C.E., & E., 1996);
