Hello all and happy spring; I'm just back from a month's work trip to WA
so am out of touch here. WA's a bit out of our bailiwick, but just a
couple of obs for those who share my view that the Riverina (a favourite
part of my world) is part of our extended back yard.
En route (16 August), 3 Magpie Geese landed on an irrigation channel
east of Narrandera. This morning, east of Deniliquin, the squilteenth
Wedgie of the trip was feeding with corvids on a carcase - except that
when it flew off it was an immature Sea Eagle. Maybe this is not very
interesting - I've not had time to look at at HANZAB yet - but I've not
seen it before.
(And of probably even less interest on this line, a dead Red Kangaroo
this morning between Urana and Wagga Wagga. Assuming it was a wild
animal, it was by far the furthest east I've seen this species.)
cheers
Ian
(Apologies if this appears twice; I think I sent it the first time
before I was properly back on the list.)
