Forest Wagtail / Barbary Dove

[Frank O'Connor <>]

Many thanks to Chris Watson for the updates on the Forest Wagtail, 
and especially to Anne & Will Cormack for their exceptional 
hospitality for allowing people to wait on the verandah to see the bird.
Great views were had on Sunday morning at 08:55, 10:20 and about 
11:15.  It had been seen the previous day.  Chris has said that he 
will update birding-aus when it is no longer seen, so assume it is 
still visiting until then.
Good to catch up with other people on birding-aus who were there.

-----------------

Thanks for everyone who gave me information on where to find Barbary 
Dove (or should this now be African Collared Dove?) in Adelaide.  Ray 
Pearson recommended Neston Avenue in Plympton.  From the airport, I 
headed along Donald Bradman Drive, then south on Marion Road, then 
west (right) on Mooringe Ave and then third left (south) on to Neston 
Road.  I instantly saw a BD on the wire.  A flock of about 10 then 
flew across the road, and looking further along the road there were 
about another five on the wires.  The easiest bird I think I have 
ever found.  It appears that BDs are expanding quite rapidly in Adelaide?
