Mon 21Greater Sooty Owl
Narrowneck, Katoomba
While photographing the C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) comet last night atop Narrowneck Plateau, we heard the single falling bomb whistle call of an adult Sooty Owl in the valley below at 20:43hrs. Time is very typical for an adult to call as the light has disappeared from the sky. I've often heard them call in suitable areas about this time of the light period. Only one call, but loud and clear for easy identification. Approximate location (Google Maps) -33.728263, 150.283740 eBird checklist

Brush Cuckoo, Little Bronze-Cuckoo
Coutts Crossing Village
Brush Cuckoo heard calling yesterday (Oct 20), first for season although a short call 3-4 days earlier was probably this species. Little Bronze-Cuckoo heard calling in yard again today.

Sun 20Banded Lapwing, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Red-kneed Dotterel, Songlarks, Trillers
Richmond Lowlands, Pitt Town Lagoon
Banded Lapwings have arrived in northwest Sydney - four at Richmond Lowlands (Cornwells Lane : 33°34'36.3"S 150°46'02.4"E) and 13 at Freeman's Reach Turf Farms (Batchellors Wharf Rd : 33°34'35.5"S 150°48'57.0"E). Bushells Lagoon, Wilberforce Lagoon and Pitt Town Lagoon all chock full leaving little shoreline for waders. Nevertheless, a walk down to Pitt Town Lagoon (via Lagoon Rd : 33°35'26.2"S 150°51'32.5"E) yielded the Red-kneed Dotterels, a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper and an Eastern Long-necked Turtle. Many Brown and Rufous Songlarks primarily at Richmond Lowlands, and White-winged Trillers everywhere.
