So!! It's not just me!  Although I have been in Australia for just 3 years I
have seen a large number of birds, but not a few which are said to be "common".
Shamefacedly I have to admit not to have seen a Weebill!! Laugh with derision
and scorn, but it's true!
For a while I had failed to spot a Southern Whiteface, but during a trip to
Googong Lake {south of Canberra} my wife and I spotted quite a few. Now isn't it
strange [and ironic] that always when a "common" bird is first seen you can't
help but see them everywhere afterwards! Walking along Ginninderra Creek nearby
here in Canberra I have seen several small flocks of whiteface, almost on my
doorstep!
