There must be 100's of Pied Currawongs around Ourimbah/ Narara on the Central coast NSW at the moment. I counted 50 in one flock the other day that would only represent a small proportion. They are feeding on fruiting privet and /or camphor laurel along the creek near the railway line. They have been joined by relatively large number of Top-knot Pigeons( Flocks of 30-50) and White-headed Pigeon. I saw 25 WHP's lined up along an electricity line recently.

In addition there are largish flocks of the Tasmania race of the Silvereye also feeding in the same area.

Regards

Allan
