Hi all,
If Terry does have Yellow Wattlebirds in Orange, as seems to be the
case, it may be interesting for someone from Birds Australia (Rarities
Committee???) to investigate the case, and see if any "reason" can be
uncovered.
After all, we're not sure we want to relinquish one of our endemics!

egg
form carried by a tourist/birdnapper???

Terry, Yellow Wattlebirds would only be in Tassie, not Orange, wouldn't
they?

Sorry Chris and others. That should be Red Capped Robins. Some of the
locals calls them Red Hooded and it has rubbed off. I will fill out
the
required forms. Are they available online? I have not heard and no
appearances have been made today by either the Red or Yellow
Wattlebirds
today. Normally I hear the Reds in the tree further over.

Hi Terry
Would you be willing to submit a NSW unusual record form for this
sighting
as it has moved the range over 100 km..
What do you mean by Red Hooded Robin, is this a local name or you
have not
checked a field guide for the correct name.
Cheers Chris for NSW Ornithological Records Appraisal Committee.

But this is their third spring they have been around here.
Five have been sighted at once. They are definitely Yellow Wattle
birds
with
Their Yellow dangling ear. They mainly hang around about in a four
block
Radius and for a short period while the Flowering Quinces are their
usual
Mass of red flowers. There are the usual many Red Wattle Birds as
well but
They are around all year.
