Hello everyone. I have just had a record from Anne Evans of 16 Black Kites soaring over Korora, Coffs Harbour today – and heading slowly south. Also, we are getting more records of Australian Pelican than usual – including approx. 30 flying past at Korora on 1 August, heading north. There are also unusually large numbers of pelicans at Urunga (up to 20). These records presumably indicate drying conditions inland. Have there been other unusual records on the north/mid-north coast of NSW recently? Cheers, Richard Richard Jordan PO Box 449 Bellingen NSW 2454 02 6655 9456 042 838 5677

We also had more Yellow-billed Spoonbills in the Clarence today than is usual (4 at one site, 15+ at another). Regards Greg Dr Greg. P.

Hi Richard, I travelled to Maclean today and visited a number of good birding areas with Warren Thompson. There were at least 5 Black Kites at the Clarence Regional Waste Facility, at South Grafton, late this afternoon and we saw another one just west of South Grafton this morning. They have been absent from these areas, where they occurred during the large irruption a couple of years back. The Freckled Duck count at the Lawrence Egret Colony Swamp has risen to 8 and there are still 500+ Pink-eared Ducks there. The three Red-kneed Dotterels seen last Friday at Micalo Island, Clarence Estuary were the first seen locally for some time. Large numbers of Australian Pelicans were seen in the Estuary last Friday and they were seen at a number of sites today. Things must be drying out in at least some inland areas. Regards Greg Dr Greg.
