Red-whiskered Bulbul

Bernard, Depending on your base in Sydney and transport arrangements, alternatives are Warriewood Wetlands on the Northern Beaches side of Sydney – also accessible by public transport – where they are very regular. Olympic Park also a possibility, especially around “Triangle Pond” near the Waterbird Refuge. In terms of getting on to them, I would say familiarity with the song would be very useful (Morcombe App for example). They often call repeatedly from a perch without moving far. Otherwise fruiting privet, lantana or backyard soft fruits like figs are a great drawcard but perhaps a bit early. Very best of luck (a “plastic” and a feral perhaps – but a very attractive little S Asian import).
