Hi all, and Sydneysiders.
A friend of mine is heading to Sydney, and is interested in tracking down Red-whiskered Bulbul. Is there a reliable location in Sydney? Also any sites close to the CBD?
It now seems that one thing sunny NSW has over Victoria is RW Bulbul. Recent records in Vic are virtually nil. Perhaps there’s room for Song Thrush / Bulbul exchange! [For the record, said with tongue firmly plant in cheek.]

Hi Tim,
They are also seen regularly in small numbers at Riverglade Reserve in Hunters Hill, especially in vegetated areas along Tarban Creek.
Riverglade Reserve is a short walk (15 mins) from the Henley Point Ferry Wharf at Gladesville. The ferry journey from Sydney’s Circular Quay to Henley Point Wharf is about 20 min.
Cheers, Stephen Ambrose Ryde, NSW
Tim,
I saw them regularly around The Mater Hospital, St. Leonards, Sydney, about 4 years ago. They are also regulars around the bottom car-park area at Kanwal Medical Centre, Pacific Hwy., Kanwal, on the NSW Central Coast.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
PS Thanks for the Trush offer. We will give you our Red-whiskered Bulbul gratis, as long as you take our Common Miners as well.

I have found RWB’s several times at South Head – a short bus ride from the CBD. On the walk past the gun emplacement and on the left of the path about 50m shy of the toilet block. Apart from the above mentioned TB this is one of the great scenic short walks in Sydney and quite a few bush birds, sea birds and on Monday a pod of 4 Hump back whales in the harbour. If you don’t find the Bulbuls you can always walk back to Nielsen Park and search for *Allocasuarina portuensis. *Possibly the rarest native plant in Oz*.
A. portuensis* (Nielsen Park She-Oak*) *was originally identified in 1986 from ten specimens at Nielsen Park in the city’s eastern suburbs. Those original plants have now died. However, efforts to propagate and reintroduce the species began from the time it was identified, and plants were planted at several locations around Nielsen Park.
If you don’t find either it’s back to Watsons Bay and F&C’s on the beach. Win win.
Cheers Chris Gregory

The ONE thing NSW has over Vic???
As Inger says, North Curl Curl + north along the clifftop tracks. Closer is Bluegum Reserve Chatswood but more often heard than seen. Curl Curl is best bet. Chris

And they are always in Dee Why Lagoon too.
… and if further north they are along the coast at north end of Newport Beach.

Hi Tim, Try the carpark at the surf club at North Curl Curl. They are nearly always there in the shrubs or on the power lines. Cheers, Inger
