Gee - that prize went off
quickly. As Bruce can tell you the A Booby is right at the top of the
Christidis & Boles index, the next English name alphabetically being ‘Adelie
Penguin’, and the first on the ACT list being ... [now there’s
a question for you] – Australasian Bittern.

Thanks
for the brain-teasers Geoffrey. Just the thing day like today.
Its
an Aardvark - and it has displaced an Abbot's Booby.

A couple of astute suggestions for the name of the latest
Kambah cat. It was intended to be a ‘Leopard Cat’ F
bengalensis. It must have leapt out of a container bringing back the
effects of an Ausaid officer returning from Phnom penh. The fumigation
contractor should be more careful. Amazingly, another newcomer has
appeared. Does anyone know this one, and the aggrieved seabird?
