| Tue 14 | | Bush Stone-curlew
Harrington |
| | Following on from Mick Roderick's post about Bush Stone-Curlews at a number of unexpected locations across the State, I can report that a BSC was seen and photographed by Grace Cooper on 24/12/2024 in the IGA Carpark, within the Harrington Shopping Village. The bird was subsequently seen in the carpark the following day but when Lindy Frost from the Hastings Bird Watchers went to check on the bird on 26/12/2024 all she could find was a freshly mangled corpse, possibly from a dog attack, in the same carpark. The last time that a BSC was reported from Harrington was on 24/7/2006 when a single bird was seen by myself and 12 members of a Follow That Bird Tour, in the Harrington Caravan Park. | | Grace Cooper and Alan Morris 14/1 #272089 |
| | Bush Stone-curlews
Tamworth (but also Wellington, Gostwyk, Yarrie Lake) |
| | Following on from the unusual observation of a Bush Stone-curlew in the Capertee Valley in late Dec/early Jan (#272048), there have been several more out of (contemporary) range birds reported since, as well as slightly earlier (Dec 2024). A bird was found in suburban Hillview (South Tamworth) last week, taken into veterinary care and released in good health to the west of Tamworth on the weekend. The bird flew away in a westerly direction. A bird was photographed in suburban Wellington yesterday (see https://ebird.org/checklist/S209108015) and in mid-December individuals were photographed at Yarrie Lake 10/12) and Gostwyk, east of Uralla. All of these locations are unusual for Bush Stone-curlews and one can only speculate what is happening. The photo is of the Tamworth bird prior to going into vet care by Chris Allen. | | Various observers, per Mick Roderick 14/1 #272085 |
| Mon 13 | | Great Knot (2), Wandering Tattler (2)
Blue Bay | | A pair of Great Knot present at Blue Bay and surrounds since 9/01. A good record for the Central Coast as only singles have been seen the last 5 years or so. Single Red Knot also present along with continuing Wandering Tattler (2). | | Andrew Robinson 14/1 #272084 |
