Dead Noisy Pitta found in Balmain (Sydney)

["Peter Marsh" <>]

Dear Birders,
On 23 April a friend found a newly dead Noisy Pitta in the garden of their 
block of apartments in the inner Sydney suburb of Balmain. At my request he 
popped it into his freezer and I delivered it today to Walter Boles the 
Australian Museum. The literature suggests that there have been a few previous 
records of Noisy Pitta as far south as the Illawarra area but they are 
certainly very rare vagrants in Sydney.
Regards
Peter Marsh
