ERINA AND CAREEL BAY, NSW- 19TH JULY 1998

My highlights for the following 2 areas are as follows:

1) ERINA (west of Gosford on the NSW Central Coast)- 15 Regent Bowerbirds
(including 2 adult males), several Green Catbirds, Emerald Dove, 15
White-headed Pigeons, Wonga Pigeon, tame Brown Cuckoo-doves, Brown and Grey
Goshawks and many Yellow-throated Scrubwrens mimicking the calls of
Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoo's, Grey shrike-thrushes, Grey Fantail, satin
bowerbirds etc.

2) CAREEL BAY (Avalon, Sydney) - 3 Bush Stone-curlews, 3 Eastern Curlew, 3-4
Mangrove Gerygones (Sydney is possibly the southern limit for this species.
These Warblers were singing and enticed at close range by squeaking), 2
Sacred Kingfisher (over-wintering), a male Rose Robin in Mangroves.

A male White-headed Pigeon was also seen perched in a Eucalypt beside Mona
Vale Rd at Ingleside.

Another enjoyable day of birding with plenty of variety...
