I haven't time to expand on Bob Forsyths list but I can amend it.

- Only once have I seen a Willy Wagtail drinking  --  Willie Wagtails 
drinking in Capertee Valley
- I have never seen Grey-crowned Babblers, Grasswrens, Hooded Robins, 
Richard's Pipits or Spinifexbirds drinking.  --  Hooded Robins reguklarly 
drinking at moment in Capertee Valley.  Have also seen Richards Pipits 
drinking at a dam.
- I have never seen any Woodswallows drinking but I believe someone told 
me they had seen one species drinking.  --  Interesting that Bob hasn't seen 
woodswallows drinking.  I consider 
this group to drink regularly in hot conditions.  Have seen large flocks 
at dams and individuals regularly drinking at bird baths in the Capertee 
Valley.

Cheers
