Eastern Curlews

[Syd Curtis <>]

Of passing interest -
   
Para in (Brisbane's) "The Courier-Mail" Dec. 11, p. 18, under the heading,
"Top Fisher":

"Greg Skilleter, a university of Queensland boffin who has researched the
impact of professional and amateur anglers harvesting bloodworms and yabbies
on foreshores, found there was another type of harvester that beat the
fishing people hands down - eastern curlews.  Skilleter reckons the ability
of these birds to haul out yabbies has to be seen to be believed."

Cheers

Syd
