Hi Birders,
As previously discussed on
Birding-aus, Spangled Drongos south of the Clarence Valley (in North-eastern
NSW) are regularly autumn-winter visitors to coastal southern NSW, arriving
early February and departing September-October. North of that line they are
breeding residents. In some years Drongos extend to as far south as Bermagui on
the Far South Coast.
Andrw Taylor on 1/5/03 was correct in saying
that they have already arrived in NSW, the first one being sighted in 2003 by
Tim Kenny at Ellanora Heights (Sydney's northern beaches - where else would you
go?) on 4 February 2003. They have been seen since in many coastal locations.
