Dear Birders
Going back through my records, the following turns up
5.9.93 Barren Grounds 1
18/6/94 Capertee Rockview 1
5.8.95 Capertee Valley Rockview 1
20.4.96 Barren Grounds 1
11.8.96 Barren Grounds 1
30.5.97 Goollooinboin Red Rock Ck 1
All tending to be autumn to winter sightings.
In addition, I am ashamed to say I wiped the records (by mistake) of these
finches near Bundanoon, Arthur Boyd's property on the Shoalhaven, when on a
Birds Atlassers weekend there some years ago - and I can't remember the
dates. Perhaps if John Carpenter or Dick Cooper read this, they can supply
the dates. Or Jill Warner who kept missing them!
We found a flock of birds of all ages (10-16 ?) on the track leading to
Bundanon's main gate (about 5 metres up in a mistletoe bunch in trees
besides the track, and another small flock (6?) (both with immatures) in a
heathland area not far away, which were harrassing an antichinus trapped on
a small acacia and desparate to find cover.
I have a feeling this was not winter but Reg Clark was in a tent!
