weekend's birding

[Penny Drake-Brockman <>]

Two nice sightings this weekend in the Sydney area:

Saturday 2 June	Maroubra  south of the surf club in the messy area 
where workmen have created
		larger ponds - one Brown Quail.  NOTHING interesting 
from Magic Point, not even
		a Crested Tern, which were on the rock by the 
southern end of the beach.
Sunday 3 June	Homebush Bay survey - one Buff-banded Rail at Haslams 
Creek, plus a female
                Musk Duck feeding.

In addition
also at Homebush	A Restless Flycatcher hovering over the water 
on 2SM Pond, taking insects from
                very near the surface.
		White-breasted Sea Eagles working on their nest in 
the Woodland reserve - one was
                seen off by an A. Raven.
