Hello all,
I'm on my way back from twitching the vagrant gull which is
currently in Cooktown FNQ. For those intending to head up that way, the bird
is fairly easy to find and was, this morning approachable to within 2m. One of
the locals was feeding it his left over bait and chicken.. The bird readily ate
everything thrown near it.
To find it, drive into the main street of Cooktown and down to the boat
ramp/jetty area. It has been seen daily in this 300m stretch for 3 days now.
The road from Cairns is all tarred and fine but be very careful of wandering
cattle at night.
I've taken over 100+ pics, so now its time to hit the books and try to ID it.
So far its been narrowed down to Thayer's, Herring, Slatey-backed, Vega, the
list goes on!!
Cheers
Richard Baxter
