My father and I will be in Sydney in a couple of weeks (winter time) and have a few targets that we will be looking for. We would greatly appreciate any information on the following species (within a 2-3 hour drive of Sydney):
Rockwarbler Rufous Scrubird Eastern Bristlebird Rufous Scrubird Ground Parrot Powerfull Owl – any current roost sites? Rose Robin Spotted Quail-thrush Australian and Spotless Crake – any marsh reliable near Sydney?
Our old information would suggest the following (is this still true): Rockwarbler – best site is Morton National Park? just east of the Edrick river (near Nerriga) Ground Parrot – do they still occur at Barren Grounds Bird Observatory (best seen at dusk?) Also, Eastern Bristlebird still occur here? Rufous Scrubird – Is Barrington Tops (specifically Gloucester Tops) still reliable and is it currently accessible (recent road closures)? Does Rose Robin still occur here?
Thanks
Jim Holmes
