Well it was actually two birds together.  I saw them circling the carpark about 
lunchtime on the 14/02/06.  

No I wasn't at the pub at the time.  I was driving back from Lake Wollumboola.  
I saw a single bird a little later in the day in the same area circling over 
houses.  The birds were quite low so I could see their distinctive white faces. 
 I also had binos.

I have seen SQTK on a few occasions whilst passing through Nowra.  Also the odd 
sighting further down the coast.

Alex Watson saw a SQTK in Nowra  a few years back after travelling the country 
with his father trying to twitch them.  He was at Westfield walking back to the 
car with his shopping when a SQTK flew over.  He dropped his shopping in the 
carpark and ran to the car for the binos.  I don't think his mother was to 
impressed about the shopping.

cheers
