By Birding-Aus, on January 28th, 2018 Hi Mike,
Another report: this time about 20-40 WTNT at Broke Rd, Pokolbin, Hunter Valley (corner of Broke Rd and Wine Country Drive): 32, 46, 33S, 151, 20, 23E).
Very low: some circling <10m above the ground.
Didn’t hang around to watch: there was a big bottle of shiraz looking for me…
