Yeseterday, I showed a NZ birdo, Chris Jowett around a few
places within the Hawkesbury area (approx. 50km NW of Sydney). At Mitchell Park
(Cattai) it felt like the middle of Spring again, with beautiful warm and sunny
weather (not to hot) and plenty of birds. Here we had good views of a male
Cicadabird, 2 Painted Button-quails, a
white-phase Grey Goshawk with a dark-morph bird, several
Brush Cuckoos, a juv. Horsfield's
Bronze-cuckoo being fed by a male Variegated Wren, a pair of
Gang-gang Cockatoo's, a Rufous Fantail and plenty of
Honeyeaters about.
At nearby McGraths Hill STW were 3 Musk Ducks
and 5 Lathams Snipes, and at Pitt Town Lagoon were 2
Pink-eared Ducks.
A fine and pleasant afternoon indeed!
