Topknot Pigeons over Silver Pinch Road, 14.10.06.

In 2006, we set up the inaugral Challenge to see if we could collectively record 250 species during the year in the club's survey area. How did we go? Extremely well considering the drought... Plenty of unusual and rare birds .... some great records from non-members too. It was a fascinating year. And a worthwhile exercise which we encourage other groups to follow. See for yourself...

Topknot Pigeons over Silver Pinch Road, 14.10.06.

Post by Rod Hobson »

Folks,

Late last Saturday afternoon (14th October), about 5.30pm, I was driving down Silver Pinch Road, Iredale when I saw a flock of seven Topknot Pigeons flying overhead towards the NNW. The GPS location was GDA 94 - S 27deg 36' 49", E 152deg 04' 15.4". These are the first of the species that I've seen locally for quite a long period.

Regards,
Rod Hobson
