Several COG members were attending the possible show of a Lewin's Rail
in the Cygnus Hide. No such luck. So we turned out attention to other
birds. We noticed a flock of Black-fronted Dotterels flying in just
below the Cygnus Hide. They then dispersed and fed individually. They
then stopped feeding and clustered closely together whereat they all
began to preen. After doing this for about 20-30 minutes they dispersed
into their feeding distribution.

regards

Con
