birding-aus Re: A New Bird For Sydney

["David Geering"<>]

As Alan and Edwin pointed out "there have been no previous records for
Wandering Whistle Ducks in the Sydney Region."


This species is, as they and many others would be aware, regular in the
wetlands of the Shortland area of Newcastle.  There are breeding records
for this area.


Am rather surprised that this species haven't made a short visit to the
wetlands of western Sydney before now as it's not that far.  Maybe they
have.  Mind you, given the number of birdwatchers that visit these
locations the chances of them being seen would be fairly high.
