That's a great bird collection. It would be a shame if Featherdale has to close after the opening of the upcoming Blacktown zoo.

Did you ask about the Plains-Wanderer? And they should have Skylark - did you see no sign of them?

 

[Najade]

I did. They currently have a male and a female (from the same clutch, so not a breeding pair) from Taronga Zoo in an off-show enclosure in the back of the park. You can see the enclosure but not the birds. It's behind the Cape Barren Geese exhibit and can only be accessed by going through their exhibit.

There were no signs for Skylark. Though they might be in there somewhere and I might have missed them as most of the exhibits had a lot of species mixed together (and the whole park is a bit of a maze). Finding the signed species was sometimes hard enough let alone any small brown unsigned ones. But I'll have a look through my pictures later.

Going through the pictures Eurasian Skylark are still there but unsigned.
