Hi All,
Not quite mid-north coast, but the Museum on Lord Howe Island has a report
of two Plumed Whistling-Ducks (with photograph) present in the Jan-Feb
period this year and claim these were the first of this species ever
recorded on the Island. I can confirm that one was still present on 3rd
March 2012 in the swamp area across the road from the southern end of the
airstrip.
Regards
Ross

Hi there,

I was down at the Kalang estuary at Urunga ( 23km south of Coffs Harbour)
last Saturday 3 March. There was a flock of around 160 Plumed
Whistling-Ducks on Urunga Island. This is an unusual species in our area,
but I have also heard of a flock of 50 birds at Raleigh (a couple of km from
Urunga) in early February. Does anyone have any other recent records of the
species from the Mid-North Coast?  Richard
