Oops, sorry about that - meant to send that to some twitchers and hit the wrong key.

Having had a chat with Roger Potts and seen another photo, (thanks Niven) I'm convinced that the bird Roger had was a Hooded Monarch! The first for Australia! It was seen early morning near the barbecue area and he watched it for about 15 minutes before it retired into thicker vegetation. About 11.00 next morning (Tuesday) presumably the same bird was seen nearby by Julie Bucholtz. Some concerns re actual and apparent plumage features have been resolved. Apparently there was just narrow white edgings to the outer tail. The grey of the back continued onto the nape before adjoining the
black crown and sides of head.

Roger will prepare a submission to BARC. Congratulations Roger!
