David and other birders.
White-headed Pigeons have been recorded as far south as Kalaru, Bega in
recent years where nesting was reported in 1997. However Peter Kurz from
the Adobe Mudbrick Huts at Mallacoota Vic told me recently that up to two
birds were at his bird feeder in the spring of 1999. The birds are still
expanding south and west in NSW (into the upper Blue Mountains) presumably
becauyse of the spread of Camphor Laurel and Privet Trees in our
waterways.
