Gday all. Re the thread on Ospreys,
a Osprey was recorded on the Hawkesbury/ Napean at Penrith by Jane
Miller 24-8-2002 you are probably aware of this record Alan. I have no record of
them in the Hawkesbury and" Hoskin, Birds of Sydney" says " A very rare
species. Prior to 1900 a few pairs said to frequent inlets of the
Hawkesbury and Port Hacking rivers''.
In regards to conditions in the Hawkesbury most of
the lagoons are dry or very low with the exception of Bakers and Little Wheeny
at Cattai. Ospreys would have a hell of a task fishing in the Hawkesbury around
Windsor as the river is covered in Salvinia.
