Hi Michael,
Dollarbirds are common summer migrants to the NSW
Central Coast, arriving in late September and departing with a southerly change
in early February. Yes they would occur at Point Clare.They nest in hollows,
high in eucalypts, often in dead trees, and the young leave the nest generally
about the week before Christmas. There are many pairs feeding 2-3 sqwarking
young at the moment, the young often set up this continuous droning
chatter, waiting for their parents to deliver the next meal.
