Re: Pilotbirds in the Wollemi Wilderness

Mick

Pilotbirds are quite common on Mt Coricudgy (a large basalt island in a sea of sandstone on the western side of the Wollemi).  I also encountered them on smaller basalt caps and nearby sandstone to the north and north-east of Coricudgy.  By the way, I assume you were on the Wollemi Trail.

Since then I've found them north-east of Rystone in damper sandstone areas west of Nullo Mountain and around the Growee River.

As you appreciate, access is difficult in huge areas and Pilotbirds are probably much more common there than we realise.

Cheers
