Northern Rivers NSW birding 13-27 July

["Russ Lamb" <>]

Thanks to the generosity of a friend, we spent 2 weeks holidaying at Lennox 
Head late last month. Although birding was not top of the agenda, we did manage 
to get out and about and were able to rack-up 138 species during the fortnight. 
The birding highlights of the hols included:

Flat Rock, Ballina---- Wandering Tattler, Sooty Oystercatcher, 
                               Ruddy Turnstone
Byron Bay Wetlands----  Black-necked Stork, 8 species of H/E
McMahon's swamp, Casino---- Black-fronted Dotterel, Common 
                                             Blackbird (Steve McB.  reasonably
                                              casts some doubt on this, local 
                                               birders could perhaps attempt to
                                               confirm)
Victoria Park NR, Alstonville--- Noisy Pitta, Rose-crowned Fruit-
