Hi Rick,
Great bird! I've put your record up on Birdline Victoria - see
http://www.eremaea.com/ (click on Birdline Victoria, right hand side).
The Geelong Field Nats would also be very interested in this record -
see http://home.vicnet.net.au/~gfnc/. They may also have other records
of White-headed Pigeon in the greater Geelong area. (I'd be Interested
to hear.)
The most westerly recent record I have of a White-headed Pigeon is at
Ferny Creek near Sassafras NE of Melbourne (30/10/2007). This year (this
spring season) they have also been record Swan Reach near Lakes Entrance
(09/10/2007) and at Mallacoota (10/07/2007).
Also Satin Bowerbird is reasonably common in the Otways. A good place to
find them is at the Sheoak Panic Area (on the Allenvale Rd) a couple of
km behind Lorne.
