Re: FW: [canberrabirds] the dock?

Trust Northern Territorians not to understand their rugby codes. "Rugby", unqualified, refers to Rugby Union, a very dull game which is not usually associated with V pattern jumpers. Now Rugby League, or just "League", is a much more exciting game and does have V jumpers, as can be seen by these two teams, the top team being a League team, proudly wearing their white "Painted Snipe" Vs. The bottom team play the soporific Rugby and look nothing like Painted Snipe.

(I have used Kiwis to illustrate the point to keep the keep this bird related, and thus suitable for the chatline.)

Very good Martin.  Below is a slide from my talk on the species.  An NT govt website sees this pattern as suggesting, of all things, a RUGBY JUMPER. I suppose Darwin draws in waifs and strays from all over the wide brown.  I am surprised your own background led you to see the OZRULES affinity

What is that strange object just to the right of the dock?  Its got a white V rather like an old Victorian State footie guernsey.

In case I have the chance to visit Jerra. wetlands before Xmas or before the p/snipe disappears completely, could someone pin-point the dock's position, please?
