Hi all,
For anyone currently in the far south coast area of NSW, a single Noisy Pitta
has been photographed by Christopher Hemmingsen at Bermagui. See
http://www.eremaea.com/BirdlineRecentSightings.aspx?Birdline=6. If you want to
look for the bird, there's a boardwalk at end of Wallaga St, Wallaga Lake. Walk
to end of boardwalk and then past a little hut. Here you'll come to shaded bush
area along path. This is where the bird was seen. (Interested to hear about any
follow ups.)
As far as I can tell, this easily represents Australia's most southerly record
for Noisy Pitta. Perhaps another sign of changing times along Australia's
south-east coast. A winter - rather than summer - record also seems unusual.
Cheers,
Tim Dolby
