Hi Birders,
Tim Murphy enquired about Blackbirds
in NSW and their most northern populations. Blackbirds have been present in
Coonabrabran since 1983 ( they turned up the year after my family moved from
Coonabarabran back to Sydney) but they were already living in Dubbo and
Gilgandra so that their becoming established in Coonabrabran was expected.
Blackbirds were already long established in Armidale (1977) and the Liverpool
Ranges in 1979, and have been in Broken Hill, Menindee, and many south-west
towns for years. I can only assume that they now occur in Inverell and Glen
Innes & Tenterfield and their presence in Queensland must soon be expected
if not already there.
