Hi Dick,
Thanks for the information, I was not aware
that Aust. Raven's could have snow white at the base of the neck and head
feathers, I have only ever seen grey. I will visit the Museum
and have a look at some skins. It was quite a sight to see the snow
white feathers drifting down and floating on the pond, and quite a few of
them too! Steve Anyon Smith said there had been a sighting of a
Torresian Crow previously at RNP but that it was a long time ago - I do not have
any further details. Your reply was very
much appreciated, as was the help you gave me with waders close to 30 years
ago! The closest to Sydney that we have previously recorded Torresian
Crows is Swansea Heads.
