Oh Paul, I didn't know (or don't remember, which happens these days - my
loving husband's regular response is: "Is it because you're blond or
because you're old?") you had one in Bris as recently as 2009. Terrific.

Hi Jill, Martin and all, it was the late 1980s early 1990s that Chris Corben
put me onto 3 birds at Wynnum and suggested that I should get some photos which
I did (slides). I remember it well as I cursed Chris as I crawled out across
the mudflats in 35+ degree January heat with high humidity and heaps of mossies
with an 800mm lens on a tripod!! I could see the difference straight away on
the ground, a good deal smaller with much shorter legs than our macrotarsa.
Over in Broome in 2001 the two races seemed to be in equal numbers. In more
recent times I had one on the city reach of the Brisbane River with a couple of
local Gull-billeds which hung around for a couple of days in the Spring of
2009. Cheers - Paul.
