Hi Edwin,
I have had a few reports of Torresian Crows around
the Newcastle area in the last few months. They appear to be extending their
range southwards. Birders along the coast south from Newcastle have had it easy
with corvids up till now, any corvid was automatically ticked as an Australian
Raven. Looks like it's time to brush up on corvid ID as the TCs move
south!

At Shortland (approx 180 km
north of Sydney CBD and in the NSW Hunter region), I was surprised to hear and
see 2 Torresian Crows which is as far south as I have ever encountered them. I
have also seem them at Seaham (approx 20 km further north) which I thought was
there southern limit. They are however a common corvid in the northern parts
of the Hunter region, like
Gloucester and Taree areas).
