Hi!
I'm sick to death of reports of this rarity and
that rarity arriving almost daily to the ACT since I left the area, I'm
almost convinced its a conspiricy. When I think of the miles (I'm sure
it was still miles when I first started) I traversed over Jerra looking for that
Painted Snipe it makes me sick. But never mind life moves in mysterious ways, to
make it up to me a Square-Tailed Kite this afternoon flew ,within 2mtrs,over my
head. It glided slowly around the small bay at low level following all the
contours for app 300mtrs before turning back towards me and again passing
directly over the top of me again. I was then able to do my jumps and
summersaults with safety without the danger of kicking the bird in the stomach
as thats how close it was. No sooner than I had check it out in my Pizzey when
it flew over again, I think it was making sure that I had seen it.
Cheers
Bob Rusk
