Terry Gourlay suggests that the Grey-headed Lapwing could not be a
wild bird (or more specifically a natural vagrant) because it has a
foot injury. The thesis that it has been tethered to a fishing boat
and then has escaped once in Australian waters and flown many
hundreds of kilometres inland is remotely plausible, as was the
deliberate introduction from a zoo to bolster the flagging Burren
Junction tourism industry. Inverting the logic, does this mean that
the immaculate Princess Parrot in Stirling must therefore be a
natural vagrant?
