Subject: Tree Martin at Boat Harbour, NSW?
Hi Alistair,
My understanding is that Tree Martins are migratory, at least in the Sydney
region. A martin seen in March could be on migration north. I have only seen
Tree Martins twice, right on the coast, in Sydney, once on Narrabeen Lagoon
and once on the Coast Walk between Bundeena and Little Marley Beach. It was
about that time of the year and I then assumed they were on migration.
Tree martins are common summer birds to the west of Sydney, around Winsor
and Penrith etc.

I have a record from March of Tree Martin at Boat Harbour, near Kurnell in
NSW. I thought I remembered the bird quite vividly and was with other
people
at the time, who I recall agreed, but am beginning to wonder whether the
imagination is playing tricks.
Does anyone from the Shire have any views on the likelihood of tree martin
on the cliffs near Boat Harbour? Presumably they're reasonably sedentary.
Cheers,
Alistair
