Sydney Botanic Gardens - almost in the CBD

["Tom and Mandy Wilson" <>]

Hi all
stopped off in the Sydney Botanic Hardens for lunch today en route to the 
station after viewing the Monet exhibition at the Art Gallery. 2 quiet 
surprising sightings:
- 1 Channel Billed Cuckoo sitting in a big tree near the cafe approx 1:45 
pm - took off towards Mrs Macquarie's chair with the usual cacophony.
- 1 Great Egret came flying in from the north (across Farm Cove) at about 
2pm - looked like it was heading for the ponds by the cafe but I lost sight 
of it.
Both quite interesting birds within 500 metres of the Sydney CBD.
Cheers
Tom Wilson
