I forward this to those Canberra people not on B-A
who have gone to see the Grey-headed Lapwing or are proposing to do
so........
How it got there - a SCANDAL report
Greetings All,
Apologies to Nevil for
sending this on. I have no idea of the veracity of the following but I received
this and it really is not fair, not to forward it to the list now. You or anyone
else can make their own conclusions or investigations about this. If true and it
seems more likely to me than that the bird arrived of its own power, this is not
unprecedented. I was not being entirely sarcastic in my earlier message. If the
bird arrived in northern Australia then natural occurrence makes sense. I recall
the stuffed Night-Heron (years ago or is this a myth) that someone stuck in a
tree somewhere in Britain to attract lots of British birding tourists, before
eventually it was realised that the bird was dead and stuffed and nailed there
