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
