Hi there,
Sorry for the late report. Raja and I spent the Easter weekend with Ed Williams
and Rob Hynson birding inland NSW.
Highlight: singing male Red-lored Whistler at Round Hill (sang only for a few
minutes, got only suboptimal looks)
RFI: We heard that there were some people from Griffith who had Red-lored
Whistler at Round Hill two weeks ago. Are there more sightings between spring
2008 and now?
(except for Martin Cachard's first year bird last spring)
And here the list:

Fivebough and 45 at Lake Cargelligo
several duck species with small ducklings (including Pink-eared Duck)
