Hi Mark,

	yes they are quite common in the (greater) Sydney region 
during the cooler months. Am not sure how their numbers fluctuate but 
I seem to hear their call more often during the warmer months. 
Whether this reflects more calling or an increased number of birds I 
don't know.
Regards, Andy
