A report of a first for Australia???

["Jeff Davies" <>]

G'day Bob,

I'll eat my hat if it's an Ivory-breasted Pitta. 
The specific name of Blue-winged Pitta is moluccensis which may explain
Harry Butler's choice of names, this species is migratory the other isn't.

Cheers Jeff.

All
I met Harry Butler today at an Environmental Conference (APPEA - Sunshine
Coast)
He told me that there is or has been a Moluccan (I assume this is
Ivory-breasted) Pitta on Barrow Island.
Has anyone else heard about this?
This is not a joke or wind-up.
cheers
