Hi Tim

There has been a small isolated breeding population of Blackbirds in
Toowoomba, Queensland for at least 7 or 8 years.

They're just in one suburb, and don't look like spreading anywhere.

I'll dig out some history and tell you more later - I'm just off out into
the real birding world for a day!

All the best

Bill

Recently one of the members of Birds Queensland reported an European
Blackbird (a.k.a Common or Eurasian) at Coonabarabran, NSW (31 degrees 30
south)which is about 300km from the QLD border (28 degrees 30 south). I
myself have seen them at Barraba (30 degrees 30 south)which is a little
further north.

I believe that they are spreading and I wonder what is the furthermost
northern point they have been seen in NSW? Could anyone please tell me. Or
has anyone seen one in Queensland?
