That sounds like a great trip Harry.
Just a few comments to your list as it relates to the Northern Beaches of
Sydney:
-Australian Brushturkey
-Eastern Whipbird
-Variegated Fairy-wren
-Scarlet HE
-Robins (Rose)
If you're heading to Warriewood, you could see all these at Irrawong Reserve,
which adjoins the wetlands <1km.
The first three are definites, the last two are quite possible.
-Little Penguin
By the harbour around Manly, Little Manly, Collins Beach area. I've never
actually gone looking for them as I usually
see them on the water either in Middle Harbour or Pittwater where they are a
regular occurrence.
-Pacific Baza
-Pacific Koel
-Channel-billed Cuckoo
It's probably still a bit early for these. They come to the Northern Beaches in
Summer.
-Glossy Black Cockatoo
In the area around Kimbriki Waste Recycling Centre and the Terrey Hills area.
Usually very conspicuous when in flight.
-Australian King Parrot
Most places on the Northern Beaches, though not as common as the Rainbow
Lorikeet.
-Australian Golden Whistler
Narrabeen Lake. It's worth a walk around the lake, 8.5km for a full circuit, or
just go out and back along the
Southern shore between Jamieson Park and Middle Creek Reserve. Lots of birds to
see along that stretch.
Regards,
Jason.
