Hi All,

 

Joh and I also heard a distinct call this morning and also thought the bird we initially saw could be a figbird. It was joined by a second bird.

 

Poor photos, once edited to lighten them, revealed a young Oriole instead. Apologies to those who left their prime seats in the Bittern Hide  to search for the bird!!

 

Cheers

Julie

Hi all,

 

This morning at Jerra Wetlands i heard a bird that i knew but was unsure of the species at the time. I indicated to David and  Alan that i thought it was a Figbird. I was unable to locate the bird but listening to playbacks i am still sure it was a Figbird. I have been going over this all afternoon and am confident it is what i heard.

 

I have been North over Xmas and heard and seen them so am confident that i may be correct

 

Being a rare bird for us i am reluctant to enter this to a list so i ask that any birders going down there tomorrow to keep an ear and eye out for it tomorrow
