- Title
Do Black-necked Storks breed in the Hunter Valley? A comment on Clancy & Kingsford (2015).

- Abstract
The claim of Clancy & Kingsford (2015) that a pair of Black-necked Storks Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus bred at Hexham Swamp, Hunter Valley, New South Wales, in 2014 may be incorrect. This species, which is classified as Endangered in NSW, has never been confirmed to breed anywhere in the Hunter Valley. However, in late 2015 a pair with two fledged young was recorded regularly. Possibly this constitutes the first breeding record for the Hunter Valley, although it is not known where the pair nested.
