I live in the inner city of Sydney and until 10 years ago never saw CBC's.
Now I see them frequently. Today I saw a "flock" of 3 flying low over the
Christmas shoppers on busy Oxford St, Paddington. With their cry and odd
profile it was like something out of Jurassic Park - even the shoppers
looked up. Maybe it's the steady advance of Magpies, Currawongs and Ravens
into the inner city.
Look out for them at the Sydney Test.
Cheers
