HI

Unfortunately I didn't see David and Margaret Merrall's posting about the 
Bustards until after I returned but yesterday, just north of the junction of 
the Gillies Highway and Marks Lane, near Atherton there were 100+ Sarus cranes 
feeding in a ploughed field.  A beautiful sight.  When I asked the farmer for 
permission to enter an adjacent field to look at the cranes they didn't 
understand why there was construction equipment in their field!
