Hi Chris,
 Magic Point is right beside a rifle range and you can in fact walk right 
behind an embankment behind the targets and if they are shooting you 
will hear bullets flying overhead. Magic Point itself is on the eastern 
side of the rifle range and outside the fence and there shouldn't be any 
bullets flying over there.

 I was having a wander around Magic Point with my camera on Sunday 
morning & had the fluttering whine of several ricochet pistol bullets 
pass overhead. Is this just par for the course for birding at Magic 
Point?

Hi all,
 A group of about 20 people attended a Cumberland Bird Observers' Club 
outing to Magic Point Maroubra (Sydney) yesterday.
 Conditions were fairly good for viewing with some light rain in the 
morning becoming sunny in the afternoon. Winds were very slight  from 
the north-west.
