Not sure how useful this is to anyone, I suppose
my bird highlight for the year is the only new one, the Cotton Pygmy-goose at
Gatton, SE Qld, along with several other slightly more mid northerly than here.
Seeing a soaring Wedge-tailed Eagle from
above, from my seat in a plane, just after ascending from Melbourne airport,
towards Canberra on 7-12-04, was pretty special too. Very quick but something I
have always hoped for. I always try to find, what is the first / last bird, cow,
car, etc. that I see from the plane or balloon as arriving and leaving
anywhere.
