Hi everyone, I have three Rufous
Whistler's in my backyard two females and a male they normally migrate
north from Sydney about April. I have recorded a single bird previously in
winter but only once in the 30 years that I have birded in this area, any
one else seeing them in the Sydney area. There are also many Scarlet Honeyeaters
in the area and have been reported from other locations. This species is not
recorded normaly at this time of the year the main influx arriving about
September when the Bottle Brush begin to flower, although they are recorded from
the Royal Nat Park in winter on a number of occasions.
Could some one in Canberra contact me as I have a
Professor from overseas who is looking for a day or two out birding in the
Canberra area from the 17th July, he will be there for 6days. Reply direct
thank you.
