Hi all,
 
Went down to a couple of spots in the Hawksbury (50kms NW Sydney) earlier today here's the highlights:
 
At McGraths Hill, a single Whiskered Tern from the road as well as Royal Spoonbill, Red Kneed Dotteral and a single Sharp-Tailed Sandpiper - hopefully we will be able to get access again to this great site soon. At Pitt Town lagoon saw a couple of Swamp Harrier and at Mitchell Park saw 53 species in about 2 hours, the most common probably being Scarlet Honeyeaters they were everywhere! Also 2 Channel-Billed Cuckoos, Wonga Pigeon, lots of White Throated Gerygones, Crested Shrike-Tit, Dollarbird, heard quite a few Shinning Bronze-Cuckoos, and a couple of Jacky Winters.
 
Cheers,
Simon.
