I reckon we should broaden our horizons. This list only includes
4 bird group entities (or 7 local species. 1 includes 3 and sort of 2, 4=5
& 6=7). I’d request we include Rakali (water rat).

As the choice of names has dried up and we have ventured
into latin poetry.....Alison and I have decided to provide the below list on
which a vote by show of hands will take place at the June COG meeting.
As all the current hides were constructed for bird watching
we will continue with bird names. We have both latin and common names already so choice of both available.
1.
Snipe (this covers both Lathams and Painted)
2.
Rostratula
3.
Gallinago
4.
Porzana
5.
Crake
