Hi Leo, Julian, Geoffrey & others --
I spent a weekend with "The Friends of Terrick Terrick N.P." at the park
which is west of Echuca in Vic.
Spot-lighting on the Fri. & Sat. nights resulted in one female bird on
Fri. p.m. and then a female & male bird on Sat. p.m.
One can get reasonably close to the birds, although the male bird wasn't as
co-operative as the female, the latter remained quite still for people to get
numerous photos.
There is a livestock manager who may be the best contact for you re.
visiting and spot-lighting. I think entry may be under the control of The
Friends of Terrick Terrick N.P. Controlled grazing of the native
grasslands seems to be essential for the viability of the Plains
Wanderers.
More details a.s.a.p. once I have been in contact with the Manager.
Easy chap to get on with.
Steve.
