Imagine my surprise while stopping along the Moruya River yesterday to stretch my legs by a beautiful lake I noticed some unusual woodswallows flying beside the lake shore. I had never seen them before, but upon getting closer realised they were White-breasted Woodswallows. I counted some 6 adults and a juvenile. They were plenty of Tree Martins and Dollarbirds around too.

This came as a complete shock to me as I thought these birds werent normally found further east than Wagga Wagga and further south than the NSW Central Coast? I would appreciate any comments anyone has regarding this sighting in this location and whether it is really unusual. If so would the Eurobodalla NHS be interested in the sighting?

Cheers
