 Further to my note of last night re the King Penguin.  Is it just
possible that some of our birding fraternity have slipped back into secrecy
mode ?   Interesting that some members knew about this rare visitor as
early as last Wednesday and apparently rang around some of their mates, but
nothing was put on birding-aus until Sunday night/Monday morning, which may have
been too late. 
As it happened myself and some others were fortunate that the bird was
still there yesterday, but many more ( i.e. working people) could have had the
chance to see it if it had been reported on b-a before the 
weekend. 
  
Tony.
