Female Superb Fruit-Dove seen by five members of the Eurobodalla Natural History Society on a field meeting to Donald's Creek. Not a species often recorded in the Eurobodalla.(Moderator's Note: A rare bird for the Illawarra and South Coast, but March-April are the months that some Superb and Rose-crowned Fruit-Doves move south for the winter!.

I was out bushwalking the headland between Hat Head and Hungry gate when I heard the unmistakable calls of a Swift Parrot near Third Beach. I grabbed my binos and observed two feeding with loris and honeyeaters in the coastal banksia. Birds flew north not long after. eBird checklist |
