The beginning of autumn - Katoomba NSW

[Carol Probets <>]

Five days into autumn and already a few interesting birds are 
starting to move through Katoomba in the upper Blue Mountains (NSW). 
Yesterday I had a Mistletoebird move through (slightly unusual though 
regular in autumn), a Scarlet Honeyeater reported by a neighbour (a 
little unusual) and a Brown Quail found dead in a Katoomba garden 
(rather unusual at the location).
A couple of weeks ago while walking to the shops I heard the 
distinctive call of a Turquoise Parrot disappearing down the gully. 
Although a resident species at my Capertee Valley hideaway, at this 
location in the centre of Katoomba it would surely be an escaped bird.
