Tue 7Rufous Whistler, Latham’s Snipe, Mistletoebird
Barton Park South--Landing Lights Wetland
A few locally uncommon birds. Male Rufous Whistler hanging around singing on bike path (down near where Buff-banded Rails were reported about a year back - on bend near newish footbridge over canal). Mistletoebird female seen there too. Latham’s Snipe flushed from grasses between canal and walking track on the overgrown side. eBird checklist

Mon 6megamegaLetter-winged Kite
Norah Head, Central Coast
Not my observation but much discussed on Facebook. See screenshot. First report for Central Coast LGA. (Moderator's Note: Initially considered to be the first report for NSW since 18 were seen in NSW at Narriearra National park, Tibooburra, near the Homestead by James Bennett et al on 15/11/2024, however on 6/9/2025, a single bird was seen from the Carypundy Bird Hide in Narrriearra NP on 6/9/2025 by Gary Neill, as per eBird. The record is subject to review by NSWORAC. AKM)

Fri 3Sahul Cicadabird
Henry Kendal Reserve, Laurieton
On Friday 3/10, 20+ members of the Hastings Birdwatchers on the regular outing led by Peter Hudd, heard a Cicadabird calling at the start of the Laurieton -Lakehaven walking track that goes around the edge of Queens Lake, the bird was again heard calling on the return trip, but still not seen. Subsequently Erin Wise reported a Cicadabird on Morton Creek Rd, Beachwood on 3/10, another was reported from Deanes Creek Rd Tionee near Taree on 5/10 by Will Brown, at Heatherbrae on 6/10 by Sage Rundman, on 7/10 at Partridge Ck Fernbank by Will James & at Ravensdale, Yarramalong by Louise Salter, and at Ourimbah Creek Rd Ourimbah today by Darren Earnshaw. It does look like that the birds were moving on a wide front south over a few short days. I am aware that there have been at least two reports much earlier but that movement seems to be unrelated to this bunch! eBird checklist
