Very useful, Tony. I'm sure I speak for many birders when I say "Thanks,
it's a great addition to our knowledge of Australian birds". And I don't
mean simply because it adds further "ticks" to the list. It is interesting
to know what people are "seeing" out there and the case commnets you
provuide are most valuable in "training" the mind (as well as the eye) in
"looking" rather than merely scanning bins or scope over a bird.
