Keith and others
The OBP has recently been listed as a threatened species in NSW, based on
those old records, and a record from the Shoalhaven heads in 1986. The NSW
Scientific Committee stated that the species is not a vagrant (maybe an
irregular visitor??), and has accepted those records. I've got a feeling
that some of those old records as detailed in HANZAB are actually Turquoise
Parrots, particularly the Thredbo records.
Keith, can you get your record details into the BA Atlas and NPWS Atlas in
the near future?
Cheers
Anthony
