On the subject of Great Crested Grebes, has anybody seen them
recently around Sydney or Newcastle? I haven't come accross them for
awhile. Where are they all in NSW or Australia as a whole? What is
the largest ever occurrence for them in Australia?. I only live a
couple of km from Prospect Reservoir (about 40km west of Sydney),and
used to see them everytime I went there. There has been records of
about 100 GC Grebes at this Reservoir in the past but have not seen
them there for 3 years.

Hi Edwin,
In 1999 I saw them at four sites west or north-west of Sydney. They
were present in small numbers at Prospect in September when I last
visited.
Just west of Lithgow they are nearly always present at Lake Wallace,
Wallerawang.
One is sometimes present on the small colliery dam on the right of
the Lithgow - Capertee Rd near Cullen Bullen.
Rylstone Dam further to the north nearly always has this species and
is a good area for Hoary-heads as well.
Regards, Andy
