I was also able to follow up on Bob Rusk’s reference to Birdline NSW to report the sighting of a Spectacled Monarch near Broulee on the south coast earlier this month.

I understand it to be the first confirmed sighting of the SM in Eurobodalla Shire and so an important record for the Atlas.  I know Bob and Mike Crowley, and separately David McDonald, have sighted one near Ulladulla, further north.

Thanks to the people who responded privately advising me where to formally record the "sighting" of the Noisy Pitta near Berrima, NSW.

 

There are different places where one can record such things it seems.

 

I have now lodged a record with Birdline NSW, as suggested by Alan Morris, Moderator Birdline NSW

 

Alan said that: "Noisy Pittas are on the move south. There are three separate places on the Central Coast where you can hear them call (but not all the time) at the moment!

While the southern normal breeding limit is the Barrington Tops/Gloucester area (not Coffs Harbour), they are being seen more regularly further south.

There are regular reports for the Illawarra Region too although mostly in winter, but birds are now being reported all year round near Mt Keira I think!"

 

Thanks for Bob Rusk for forwarding my query to Alan.

 

And I will follow up the other suggestions made by Marnix Zwankhuizen, Martin Butterfield and David McDonald

 

Assistance greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers
