Hi Birders,
On 25 February 2000 Bruce Cox wrote
"On both occasions the birds were hawking fairly
low over heath type country under clear skies & near windless
conditions..."
Since moving to the Central Coast in October 1988,
it has been my expereince that White-throated Needletails are present over the
coastal heathlands of Bouddi, Wyrrabalong NPs and Munmorah State Recreation Area
(between Broken Bay & Lake Macquarie) on a daily basis November to March,
although you may have to stay around a long time to see them. This is despite
the weather pattern of the time. As I cannot be there every day I cannot prove
this but most days when I visit these places at this time of the year, I am
seeing them!
