Wee Rabbie was nearly right

["Geoffrey Dabb" <>]

Seeing Martin keep up with the mounted party while jogging with his bike in 
one hand was alone worth the price of admission.  Other sightings included 
10 bee-eaters at the Molonglo confluence, and just as we were saying the 
dollarbirds had all gone north there was one at that well-known dollarbirdy 
spot, and a Sac Kingfisher 'carrying food'.  The nesting cormorants and 
darters were also at the appointed spot in the armpit of Black Mountain Pen. 
I am afraid the acting leader fell for the old 'hey look at all those white 
birds' trick at the mock cockatoo creation near the National Museum, but did 
manage, just, to keep Tony D and the remnants of the retreating party (3) 
out of the Cuiseum, John at that point having decided, 
Sir-Francis-Drake-like, to complete the circuit.
