Dollar Bird - haven't see one of these for about 30 years, great excitement!

Australia

According to the Reader's Digest bird book they fly down along the East Coast of Australia from Papua New Guinea in about September/October down as far as Victoria to breed, then head back up to PNG March/April, a distance of about 3,500 Kilometres each way.
