With a recent report of a Forest Kingfisher at
Thornleigh (a northern suburb of Sydney), this means atleast one has turned up
in Sydney in the past 5 years. Could this be the same individual seen in the
last 5 years or is it a regular but rare migrant to Sydney (probably more so the
later case). There appear to be both winter and summer records for this bird in
Sydney. To my knowledge in NSW, they don't normally come down further south than
Port Macquarie about 450km north of Sydney CBD, but have heard of several
records between there and Sydney. Have seen atleast one myself in Sydney
recently.
