By Birding-Aus, on January 5th, 2023 Good evening I am planning a few days in Newcastle, hoping to search for the Asian Dowitcher but note that the last eBird record is for 31 Dec.

By Birding-Aus, on January 1st, 2023 Now that 2022 is done, I checked ebird for records of the species for that year. This brought up a map unburdened by any reports, with the depressing notation ‘No data for this taxon’. This contrasts with the reporting for 2022 of the relatively commonplace Orange-bellied Parrot.

By Birding-Aus, on December 20th, 2022 It's worth checking for Pilotbird along the creek at the entrance to Barren Grounds. All the best Richard Jordan
By Birding-Aus, on December 19th, 2022 I’m hoping to go to Barren Grounds in the next few days…is it a good time of year to listen for and possibly miraculously see an Eastern Bristlebird? If so, is there a location at the grounds that they frequent a little more than usual? Also is there a Pilotbird area in the Sydney region . . . → Read More: Eastern Bristlebird

By Birding-Aus, on November 23rd, 2022 Hey everyone… If I was to travel from Australia to Hawaii next year for a week…when’s the best time for birding and some must see locations/Species on mainland and islands nearby?? Yes I can look at Ebird but just wanted some extra help from those that have been there and would like to share their . . . → Read More: Birding in Hawaii
By Birding-Aus, on November 23rd, 2022 Not sure if this helps but, around 2011/12 I saw the Aust Painted Snipe at Newey reservoir in Cobar, right next to a Painted Honeyeater which was in the tree to the right of it… I’ve been back many times since to the same spot and it’s never been there…
