Has anybody out there achieved this?
I was thinking about this whilst in the Hawkesbury
(north-western Sydney) yesterday as there are or has been 3 species of Bittern
about within a few km distance from each other at Cattai and Pitt Town. A
few Black Bitterns are resident at Cattai, atleast one Little Bittern
has also been about (probably more common than the very few seen) and
there are no doubt some Australasian (Brown) Bitterns around (one I saw
yesterday). The best I have achieved were two species in one day in Sydney
- one Black and 2 Little Bitterns.
Another challenge are the most rails and crakes in
a day. My best score for Sydney and anywhere is 7
species - Bailon's, Spotless, Australian (Spotted) Crakes,
Buff-banded Rail and the easy Coot, Moorhen and Swamphen.
Are there any other great challenges - Nocturnal
birds, Raptors etc.
