Just for the record, I spotted a White-backed
Magpie (race tyrannica) in Centennial Park, Sydney today. I've had
a couple in Sydney before, previously females. Today's bird was a male
- and in very fine feather too. His partner was your standard
tibicen and their offspring appeared to be the same (might this change
after a moult, revealing its hybrid nature, I wonder). If there's any interest,
I can put an image or two up or provide a mud map for those who are keen to
observe the bird.
Happy birding
