Hi Birders
 
Re Returning Spring Migrants to Newcastle-Sydney-Wollongong-Blue Mountains
 
The following are the arrival dates for the spring migrants that have been relayed to me or have been placed on Birdline  or on Birding-Aus.I have indicated whether the arrival date I have is early (E), late (L) or average (A) for the species concerned based on records held by the NSWFOC over 30 years. Some records are for birds outside the survey area (marked * thus) but that is because they are the only records known. I would be interested if anyone has earlier records for the survey area. Some birds have already returned a month ago or more like Wedge-tailed Shearwater, Rufous Whistler and Fairy Martins so they are not included in this list. Obviously there are more migrants yet to come like the Monarchs & Flycatchers, Dollarbirds, Kingfishers & Cicadabirds. The location and observers name is also given
