Back from Finland to Australia, NSW: Sydney, Moss Vale, Parkes etc.

That sounds like a great trip Harry. Just a few comments to your list as it relates to the Northern Beaches of Sydney: -Australian Brushturkey -Eastern Whipbird -Variegated Fairy-wren -Scarlet HE -Robins (Rose) If you’re heading to Warriewood, you could see all these at Irrawong Reserve, which adjoins the wetlands <1km. The first three are definites, the last two are quite possible. -Little Penguin By the harbour around Manly, Little Manly, Collins Beach area. I’ve never actually gone looking for them as I usually see them on the water either in Middle Harbour or Pittwater where they are a regular occurrence. -Pacific Baza -Pacific Koel -Channel-billed Cuckoo It’s probably still a bit early for these. They come to the Northern Beaches in Summer. -Glossy Black Cockatoo In the area around Kimbriki Waste Recycling Centre and the Terrey Hills area. Usually very conspicuous when in flight. -Australian King Parrot Most places on the Northern Beaches, though not as common as the Rainbow Lorikeet. -Australian Golden Whistler Narrabeen Lake. It’s worth a walk around the lake, 8.5km for a full circuit, or just go out and back along the Southern shore between Jamieson Park and Middle Creek Reserve. Lots of birds to see along that stretch.
