Hi all saw my first swifts of the spring/summer today at Central Coast Wetlands, Tuggerah, NSW. Approx 100 birds at peak, although unless I can actually count individually, I think that’s conservative – all WT Needletails that I could see. It was a large group of birds that moved back and forth over the . . . → Read More: Swift Signting – 18 Oct 2020

Can someone please update me on what if any regulations cover photography at Golden Bowerbird bowers? We currently have someone who has set up a blind with flash devices near a bower, and I seem to recall that this is not permitted? If we see a passing ranger we will ask him what the situation . . . → Read More: Golden Bowerbird bower query Gooday all on BA
Has anyone on BA had experience with night vision optics for birding? In particular it would be interesting to be able to observe waders within about 100m. Any observations, advice and recommendations on equipment would be very much appreciated.

Hi all,
I colour-banded a nestling Black-necked (Satin) Stork at Gilletts Ridge (Clarence Valley Northern NSW) on 12 December 2007. I placed a yellow band on the upper left leg and a green band on the upper right leg. It was observed at Port Macquarie on 12 May 2012.

It nestles by the Federal Highway between Goulburn and Canberra, the below view being what your passenger might see, more or less, from your car window if you are driving south.
