Dear Fellow Birders

Yesterday, I showed a birder from Boston a good selection of Sydney's   
beautiful birds showing at the Royal NP (just south of . Those seen   
included a great view of an Intermediate phase Grey Goshawk (white body   
and grey wing's),  2 male Superb Lyrebirds displaying among other male   
birds seen (this was not only a thrill to us birder's but to other   
bushwalker's passing by as these 2 males were showing off for over half   
an hour. The Royal N.P. is a  often an easy place see these magnifcant   
Lyrebird's) , a pair of Cicadabirds, a pair of Rose Robin's, Black-faced   
Monarch's, Rufous Fantail's, Green Catbird's, Scarlet Honeyester's (many   
bird's seen and heard along Lady Carrington Drive), Tawny-crowned   
Honeyeater pair making a nest at Curra Moor's and Southern Emuwren pair   
possibly also nesting.

We also went to Shell Pt later on in the afternoon, but the tide was 2   
high but Ruddy Turnstone's and Curlew Sandpiper's aswell as Pied   
Oystercatcher's were seen roosting on a barge. Brown Honeyeater's were   
about in the Mangrove's.

That's all for now......
