limerick, Geoffrey, although I prefer to pronounce
Platalea so that it rhymes with Italia and Natalia

Subject: FW: [canberrabirds] name the new hide at Kellys
There
was a young chap from Australia,
whose
ID was often a failure.
When
he heard his friends talk
of
seeing a stork,
he
sat there all day in Platalea.
It
was Harvey Perkins who conceived the plan for naming
the hides with tastefully created labels matching the
structures themselves. This avoided the need to say
“the hide nearest the morgue”(for those who remember
those days). Harvey’s plan, although without an
obvious progression, would have been designed, I am
sure, to accommodate the possibility of future
additions to the then existing suite of viewing
points. I vote to refer the matter to Harv.
I
like Platalea for attracting more spoonbills.

Subject: [canberrabirds] name the new hide at
Kellys
As
those who have visited Jerra Wetlands recently
will have noticed a new screen and hide is
being constructed at Kellys Swamp. My
understanding is the existing 5 hides were
named (officially or otherwise) by COG or a
COG member. I therefore ask the group to come
up with a suitable name for the new hide.
Current
names at Kellys are Ardea, Bittern, Cygnus and
the two on Jerra Creek are tadorna and fulica.
Will see what the response is but maybe you
can hold a vote at the next indoor meeting
after we have a list of candidates ?
