Hi Dean,
I was going to ask Doug re the Scaly-Breasted Lorikeet, as I have not seen
one here, although at the moment there are flocks of Lorikeets and
Red-rumped Parrots all over the place, as well as 15 Eastern Rosellas in my
yard this week when I have only had the odd one in the past 5 years. So I do
not think a Scaly would be impossible.
I have never seen a Grey Goshawk here, he did comment that it was being
chased by magpies and ravens so he got a good view of it.
I saw the Black Bittern at Tench Reserve myself, last week of May at dusk,
it came out of the reeds near the bottom of Jamieson road, perched on a snag
for a few moments with its bill turned upwards in typical Bittern pose, then
was disturbed and flew across the river to the Emu Plains side.
