Hi Thomas,
Wenn ich Deine e-mail richtig verstehe, seid Ihr vom 20. August bis 1.
September in NSW und dann fliegt Ihr nach Adelaide? (Mir war nicht ganz klar,
was Du mit "on the way to Adelaide" und dann "flight" meintest). Hier meine
Vorschlaege (auf Englisch, da ich sie gerade einem amerikanischen Freund
geschickt habe):
Possible itinerary (this is the minimum time to spend, you can easily double
the time at each location - especially if you want to focus on photography):
1 day Royal National Park (just outside Sydney) - rain forest, wet sclerophyll
forest, heath, sea cliffs (Superb Lyrebird, Satin Bowerbird, Southern Emu-wren,
Tawny-crowned Honeyeater, Beautiful Firetail, Rockwarbler)
1 day Barren Grounds and Minamurra (150 km south of Sydney) - BG: heath (best
place for Pilotbird, Eastern Bristlebird, Southern Emu-wren, Chestnut-rumped
Heath-wren, Beautiful Firetail, Ground Parrot and possibly Gang-gang Cockatoo,
Echidna); Minamurra: rain forest (best place for Superb Lyrebird, also Green
Catbird and possibly Logrunner)
1 day Blue Mountains (100km west of Sydney) - Evan's Lookout is the best place
for Rockwarbler, the area is also good for Crescent Honeyeater and Gang-gang
Cockatoo.
2 days Capertee Valley plus Lithgow sewage ponds and Lake Wallace (150 km NW of
Evan's Lookout - to be combined with the Blue Mountains trip) - best
landbirding in the Sydney area (plus four kangaroo/wallaby species, Common
Wombat, Platypus...)
2 days Barrington Tops/Gloucester Tops (300 km north of Sydney) - great
subtropical rainforest birding (Paradise Riflebird, Rufous Scrubbird, and a
number of "Queensland species", Greater Glider is common)
There are heaps of other places such as the Hawkesbury area (60 km W of Sydney,
for marsh birds), East side of Wollemi NP (for Spotted Quail-thrush), Hunter
Valley for a good number of good landbirds and wine!).
I am sure you will get more ideas from other Birding-Aus people.
Viele Gruesse auch an Christian Dietzen,
Nikolas
