Hi Edwin and others.

Figbirds are definately on the increase both westwards and southwards, and
in the past few years are now known to be regular at Eden on the far South
Coast. This is move south has been well documented in the Annual Bird
Reports published by Birding NSW (perhaps you should join up?). During 2002
they were reported from Moruya, Bermagui, Tuross Heads and Narooma. As more
Ficus hilli and Moreton Bay Figs are planted as landscape trees in Sydney's
western suburbs, it would be expected that they would also regularly be seen
there too.
