I also saw a flock of about 20 Zebra Finches at Hickeys Park, Penrith about
four weeks ago. They were seen drinking from a temporary rain pool on the
side of the bicycle track through the park. I'm not sure if they are seen
there regularly, but I suspect they were attracted to the coastal side of
the Range because of the widespread rains and abundance of seeding grasses.

Cheers,

Following on from Keith and Ed Vella's listings for the Sydney area, I have
a report from Cranebrook north of Penrith of a flock of Apostle birds - how
often do they occur this side of the range??

Cheers

Hello all,  for Sydney Listers had a look for the Pied Butcherbirds which I

had reported from Wisemans Ferry on two occasions in recent weeks. Didn't

find any, but saw a group of 10 Blue-faced Honeyeaters.

This is quiet an increase in numbers from previous reports of 5 individuals.

Looks like they could be a regular tick on the County List from now on. The

valley had 100's of Noisy Friar birds and Musk Lorikeets feeding on

flowering Swamp Mahogany, but couldn't find any Swift Parrots in amongst

them. Don't forget the Swift Parrot and Regent Honeyeater survey next

weekend.
