Hey All,
Looking for a bit of 'oil' on the European Greenfinch. I will be
travelling through Lithgow, Bathurst, Orange and Cowra this weekend. I have
heard that the Greenfinch can be seen in some of these towns, could anybody
give me some worhty locations to check out. Also, has anyone seen Superb
Parrots near Cowra recently?
Just had our Wader surveys last weekend in the Hunter Estuary. Good
numbers of Avocets are still present-about 1500. Eastern Curlews numbered
about 150, Bar-tailed Godwits 250 and one Black-tailed Godwit.Grey-tailed
Tattlers were not seen but have been seen recently as well as one Curlew
Sandpiper. Kooragang Island had 125 Australasian Shovelers, Red-kneed
Dotterels and one Greenshank. Caspian and Gull-billed Terns were also seen
in the estuary. We recently had approx. 200 Pink-eared Ducks on Ash Island.
Cheers,
Steve Roderick
