Record for my backyard

["Robert Inglis" <>]

Hello Birding-ausers,

 

Last week (30/7/2000 to 5/8/2000) was a record week for my backyard bird list.

The total number of bird species observed was 33.

The highest number recorded for any week since I started a formal weekly list in March 1994.

 

Here is the list:

Little Pied Cormorant

Straw-necked Ibis

Australian White Ibis

Spotted Turtle Dove

Rock Dove

Crested Pigeon

Galah

Little Corella

Rainbow Lorikeet

Scaly-breasted Lorikeet

Pale-headed Rosella

Laughing Kookaburra

Sacred Kingfisher

Striated Pardalote

Little Wattlebird

Little Friarbird

Noisy Friarbird

Blue-faced Honeyeater

Brown Honeyeater

Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike

Olive-backed Oriole

Figbird

Grey Butcherbird

Pied Butcherbird

Magpie-lark

Australian Magpie

Spangled Drongo

Torresian Crow

House Sparrow

Tree Martin

Silvereye

Common Starling

Common Myna

 

Not bad for a residential suburban area that is steadily being degraded by a local authority with vision.

There is a potential for an even bigger list at the moment because the above list lacks several species seen during the previous few weeks.
