Hi Eric and all,
I used to see YTBCs at certain times of the year in the inner-west of
Sydney: specifically a pine tree in MacDonaldtown: recall one morning
around 2002 walking to MacDonaldtown station and thinking "what the hell
is all this stuff on the footpath" (no I was not a serial complainant to
South Syd City Council!!) until I noticed chunks of pine cone and tree
cascading down upon me: looked up and there they were, the three YTBCs of
the apocalypse.
Red wattlebirds, and Koels, of course at certain times of the year, made
regular appearances (and calls) in the Newtown/MacDonaldtown areas: the
sound of Koel's calling in summer - up close and echoing down narrow
terraced streets - made for some strange humid nights!
cheers
Craig
