I also saw a flock of about 20 Zebra Finches at Hickeys Park, Penrith about
four weeks ago. They were seen drinking from a temporary rain pool on the
side of the bicycle track through the park. I'm not sure if they are seen
there regularly, but I suspect they were attracted to the coastal side of
the Range because of the widespread rains and abundance of seeding grasses.

Following on from Keith and Ed Vella's listings for the Sydney area, I have
a report from Cranebrook north of Penrith of a flock of Apostle birds - how
often do they occur this side of the range??
