G'day everyone, I've just got back from up north and checked the sightings 
e-mails, so have seen the photo Frank mentions - though fairly distant I think 
the ID is beyond doubt. I'll try to get permission to post a copy of the photo 
(at least to the BirdsWA list). Aside from that there's nothing to add to 
Frank's posting in terms of info Cheers,John
