Dear birders
Doing my monthly Atlas at Eve Street and Riverina wetland
(Arncliffe/Rockdale south of Sydney) Saturday 16th June, the
Black-shouldered Kites are once more nesting in one of the Norfolk
Pines so kindly spared by the RTA (along with lots of Red-rumped
Parrots) at Eve St., and at Riverina, there was a Striated Heron
stalking in the concrete drain that runs past the pond, and a lone
Shoveller with the Chestnut Teal and Black-winged Stilts on the
water.
Sunday 17th June, from Long Reef, there were 10 or more Sooty
Oystercatchers out on the point at high tide in the afternoon - one
with leg bands - yellow on left and red over white on right - for the
banders to note please. Also lots of Black-browed Albatross and a few
Yellow-billed off the point and large groups of Gannets in flight.
Couldn't see any petrels or shearwaters but two guys with 'scopes
were keeping a vigil so maybe they found some.
