The Satin Bowerbird is among the most common birds in my garden in southern
Canberra (but that is a day trip up and back from where it seems that you are).
That is typical of every year for the last about 15 to 20 years from winter
through to early spring. If I go outside or look out my window, it would rarely
take more than one minute (maybe 5) to find them. About 20 here most days and
for many years a bower in my neighbour's yard or another one somewhere near
within my GBS area - that is 100 metres from home).

Hi everyone.
Just a quick update: with already maybe around 80 trip species, the
wishlist has diminished impressively! Thank you all for the help I have
been getting already.
But one bogey we still have: Satin Bowerbird. If anyone knows an active and
accessible bower within the Southern Highlands area, we would be very
grateful. Our options are close to none at the moment.
My best sightings (for now) include: Noisy Pitta, Green Catbird, Azure
Kingfisher, Crested Shrike-tit, Topknot Pigeon (poor views in flight),
Superb Lyrebird (poor views of a shy bird), Bassian Thrush, Australian King
Parrot etc. At least 20 new species already. We dipped on Rockwarbler
today, same with Tawny-crowned HE. And the best is still a Humpback Whale
we saw from the top of Wottamalla (or something like that) waving its fins
further away!
Cheers,
-Harry
