| Tue 4 | | Flame Robin
Sydney Harbour National Park--North Head | | Robin with solid bright orange underparts that went right up to the chin. This is why we dismissed Scarlet or Rose Robin with their black throats. Also small white mark on forehead, again distinguishing from larger white mark of Scarlet Robin. Clear white markings on black wings. Sitting clearly in the sun on a branch mid canopy for about 30 seconds before flying north. Sighted by us both at 8:31 am on the border of Eucalyptus and scrubby coastal heath on the bush track between Blue Fish Road and the Barracks at North Head. Strong southerly winds last night. Seems from our understanding to be the totally wrong place and climate as we have only previously seen this species in Canberra and Snowy Mountains in the colder weather. (Moderator's Note: Very rare winter visitor to western Sydney, virtually absent from the eastern and north parts of Sydney, great record. AKM). eBird checklist | | Bill and Nicci Raffle 4/11 #272856 |
| Sat 1 | | Emu
Medway | | 7 emus seen in a paddock by Medway Rd at 11am. The most I have seen here. An impressive Southern Highlands record. | | Lorne Johnson 4/11 #272857 |
