Partly my poor spelling, partly play on words...after all this IS a bird
discussion group ?!

Sorry but Peter made me really giggle with this one: "we have recorded
24 rufous scrub-birds a few years ago, we recorded a poultry one
yesterday". Dare I say I think you mean paltry! Or at least I hope you
were not planning to eat it.

Hi Edwin and others
on the topic of rainfall, we surveyed New England NP (near Dorrigo)
yesterday, and despite Dorrigo receiving 300mm two weeks ago, I have
never seen the rainforest so dry with humidity levels extremely
low. So
much so, that where we have recorded 24 rufous scrub-birds a few
years
ago, we recorded a poultry one yesterday. There were fires nearby at
Bowraville.
It has been a similar story in other areas, Barrington/Gloucester
Tops
was extremely dry, Border Ranges was likewise. At present I am at
Cunninghams Gap and despite good rains here ~70-100mm a week or so
ago,
there are fires nearby and it is extremey dry for forest of this type.
Peter
