Hi Tania,
I flew down from Brisbane to Sydney on the weekend to pick up a few ticks
including Regent Honeyeaters (about a dozen) in Capertee Valley, my bogey bird
the Red-whiskered Bulbul (tried on three previous trips but finally successful)
and ...the House Crow which is quite a nice looking bird with its silky grey
mantle.
Carl Corden was able to take me straight to the spot at Dee Why and pointed out
the bird in the trees between the children's fenced playground and the street -
exactly where he had seen it back in March!
...even got the photos as proof of having 'been there, done that' Laurie;-)
Spent the afternoon doing some cliff top seabird watching as well.
Cheers,
Carl Billingham

The term twitcher is subject to considerable variation in
interpretation. I would suggest, however, that setting aside four
days to locate the House Crow in Dee Why surely qualifies you for hard core
twitcher status Irene ;)
Regards, Laurie.

I have managed to persuade my husband that he wants to spend 18-21
July in
Sydney, nominally to visit some of the museums, but in reality to
see the
House Crow (don’t tell him!). Is there anyone local who is keeping track of the
bird? Is someone able to give me the directions to the site(s) where it
can be found? We’ll be staying in Manly.
Thanking you in advance,
Regards,
Tania
