David,
          I think one of the contributing factors as to why the GHL has
attracted more attention than other rarities is the degree of
site-faithfullness it has shown, thus improving the odds of twitchers being
successful.The bird has  been known (by birders) to have been in Burren
Junction now for nearly 6 weeks, in a relatively contained area.Everyone who
has gone to see it has got it , as far as we know, so it isn't hard to see
the bird.It isn't even hard to get to Burren Junction, though it of course
takes time and money.So it's become a dead-set cert, or as poker players
would say, the pot-odds are heavily in your favour.Just think of the
attention it would have generated if it had landed in Centennial Park in
Sydney.
      ( And I'm very happy to be one of those who has seen it)
