It has been boasted on the radio today (on Sydney's
newest radio station Nova 96.9), that despite the thought of many people
thinking that our birdlife is on the decline in Australia's largest
city, bird watchers can be happy to find that Sydney's Royal National Park
has around 279 species.
I have not yet obtained Steve's new book on the
Royal NP, which mentions the 279 species. I suppose this number of species may
include some vagrants! Can anyone comment?
I have made a list of birds in my local shire -
Blacktown shire and have currently a list of 206 species (over 90 percent
would have been seen in the last 10 years. Has anybody else made a list of the
birds of their own shire/local area?.
