| | Little Corella
Long Reef Golf Course |
| The regular flock of 200+ aerating the fairway. They roost in tall gums at Dee Why, then head north along the coast each morning, pausing to drink at the golf course ponds. Also of interest, one Buff-banded Rail ducking for cover at the 5th tee-off; a Caspian Tern patrolling Long Reef Beach; and at Dee Why Lagoon a well-hidden roosting Night Heron betrayed by a multitude of miners. |

| Fri 15 |  | Swift Parrot
Murrumbidgee River, Hay |
|
| 4 Swift Parrots seen along the edge of the river last Friday. We drove across the bridge over Murrumbidgee River toward Hay town centre. Immediately turned right over the bridge into a reserve with drive and walking track. We stopped right near the river. The birds were 50 to 100 metres from the bridge on the river bank high in the trees. (Moderator's Note: There are no previous Swift Parrot records in Birdata, eBird or the Swift Parrot database for within ~70km of Hay. This, like the Nyngan birds, is a very inland record for Swift Parrots. MR) |
