I am the editor of the Hunter Region bird reports. As it happens, I
delivered the 12th edition (covering sightings for 2004) to the printers
yesterday. The total species list for the Hunter Region at the end of
2004 is 412 (and incidentally, 339 of those species were recorded in
2004). The list does include all sightings of pelagic birds, which
perhaps is where the differences of opinion are coming from. There are
quite a number of pelagic species included in the list. But lots of
land birds too.
The boundaries of the Hunter Region match those used by NSW Tourism, and
similar agencies. So it spans a largish area including all the way up to
Crowdy Bay NP and inland to Cassilis in the west plus parts of Wollemi
NP in the SW. And the oceans alongside us too.

Hi Phil
There may be some conjecture on the exact number, as there are
unconfirmed
reports and escapees reported from year to year. However, even
including
those 'accidental' sightings reveal substantially less than 400.
