G'day all

The Hamilton Field Nats ventured out to Bryan Swamp (north west of Dunkeld in
the Victorian Valley) yesterday morning and saw a Bustard in grassland near the
south eastern corner of the lake.  Several bustards have been seen down this way
in the last couple of years so it may not be the dry inland conditions pushing
them down.  They used to be a common feature of our fauna.

I'm heading out to see if I can find it.

Cheers
