Hi Damian and all,
Greenfinches have never been reported in the Capertee Valley. The
closest is Rylstone where I occasionally hear one along the river.
This is quite a different habitat to the valley. What were the
features you saw of these birds?
The Gilbert's Whistler is an excellent record for the valley. One was
seen by David Geering in August 2000 and another, possibly the same
bird, was seen around the same time by Vicki Powys. Any more details
on this recent sighting? Anyone know who the observer was?
cheers
Carol

What a spot this is! .... I also spotted several flocks of what I
could only imagine were greenfinches, could this be right?
.... Heading out of the valley I ran into another bird-watcher who,
though also having missed out on Regents thus far, did tell me that
he got great views the previous day of a Gilbert's Whistler in the
valley!
