Hi all
taking my early morning walk (for exercise,
not birding) this morning, I did take a slight detour to check out
what a huge flock of Noisy Miners was upset about - I had heard a Raven calling
a little while before so expected to see that, or a possum or maybe a Tawny
Frogmouth - I imagine my surprise when the source of the commotion turned out to
be a Brush Turkey!
The sighting was made on the small part of Rushall
St in Turramurra between Bobbin Head Road and Bannockburn Rd - Turramurra is in
the northern suburbs of Sydney. This is a reasonable way (about 3kms) from
the boundary of Ku-ring-Gai National Park, but there are no obvious bushland
corridors that would get the turkey to the point where I saw it without crossing
a few roads and presumably quite a few gardens. Not sure how long it will
last as there's not much cover in that part of Turramurra.
Regards
Tom Wilson
