migrants

["Graham Turner" <>]

G'day Keith and birders,
                                   Evan and I had great views of Shinning 
Bronze Cuckoos at Emu Heights on Tuesday afternoon. (Emu Heights is on the 
Nepean River, 60 km west of Sydney CBD). We had also heard them at various 
locations along the river (Leonay and Devlins Rd Castlereagh, all in western 
Sydney) over the last few weeks of birding.
Other migrants on Tuesday were Rufous Whistler, Channelbill Cuckoo and 
Bee-eater. Also had crippling view of Mistletoebird and Scarlet Honeyeater, 
but couldn't quite get onto the Bar-shouldered Dove (one of our target 
birds) despite hearing them calling all around us.
Cheers
Graham Turner
