FYI
Incidentally, on the same day as the
Pied Oyc was upgraded to Endangered, the NSW Scientific Committee made final
determinations to list another 5 species as Vulnerable in NSW. These are Varied
Sitella, Flame Robin, Scarlet Robin, Spotted Harrier and Little Eagle. For full
details see:
http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/committee/FinalDeterminations.htm
Interestingly, White-browed
Woodswallow was preliminarily listed at the same time as the above 5 species but
didn not get the final determination.
(from Birding-Aus chatline,
today)
I believe that there are
plans to get the Scarlet Robin listed in the ACT. The Sitella & Little
Eagle are already listed in the ACT.
