migrating birds newcastle Stockton Bridge

["Kamprad" <>]

I tend to agree with Frank. We would have to look for more evidence than one 
observation to claim the 'fires' have influenced the migration.
What I can tell you is the sight of the mass of  fast moving co-ordinate 
flocks of wading birds was magnificent. The energy displayed was equivalent 
to that seen from Green Cape while observing the masses of migrating 
shearwaters on a COG trip a year or so ago.
I am glad my posting has created interest.
