Now that's interesting!  I was listening to Radio National yesterday, to a chap
being interviewed on a farm near Strahan on Macquarie Harbour, west coast of
Tassie.  The ambient noise behind the interview included things like a seaplane
(which they commented on), plus, Yellow-throated Honeyeater, Green Rosella and
WILLIE WAGTAIL!  I realise that background noise can be added to these things,
but in this case I think not.  Anyone near Strahan to follow up?!

Cheers, Lawrie
