| Mon 27 | | Eurasian Tree Sparrow
Sydney Airport | | The Eurasian Tree Sparrow reported here some months ago for the Sydney Domestic terminal appears still to be in residence. Sighted near Gate 52 but obviously mobile. All-chestnut crown together with dark blotch on white cheek patch and pale neck collar rule our House Sparrow. | | Chris Rehberg 27/1 #244340 |

Pitt Town Lagoon | | 1 Wood Sandpiper present (in front of hide) and 3 Marsh Sandpipers. 3 crake species seen, 2 Australian Shelduck, 32 Glossy Ibis and 51 Red-necked Avocet. Lagoon is drying out and wader numbers are increasing. Duck numbers are decreasing with 1 Freckled Duck, 2 Pink- eared Ducks, 6 Shovelar and 2 Chestnut Teal. | | Martin Snowball 27/1 #244339 |
| | Barred Cuckooshrike
Lime Kiln Bay Reserve and Wetlands |
| | Saw a bird land high in canopy before being very quickly swooped by another and disappearing - not re-sighted. Thankfully I took a couple quick photos with sufficient detail to confirm the ID: finely barred breast neatly cut-off, grey head, yellow eye. Very brief encounter. (Moderators Note; This is an extraordinary record, but not the first for Sydney, one was collected there in 1886! Subsequently 1 in Wollongong Bot.Gardens in 1998, a few days later at Thirrroul! No other records! Great work Chris!. AKM) eBird checklist | | Chris Rehberg 26/1 #244333 |

| Sun 26 | | Reed Warbler
Bailey Billabong, Wilson Reserve, Ivanhoe | | Two birds in edge of reedbed. I have not seen this species here since the early 1990s, when management of nearby oval wiped out weeds and incidentally killed off a large reedbed. Common Reed has re-grown since then, but no Reed Warblers till today. | | Anthea Margaret Fleming 26/1 #244336 |
