Richard,
My apologies for the delay in responding to your article. Unfortunately
it took
me quite some time to trace the required information.
On the Queens Birthday long week-end (9th to 12th June 1995), the QOSI
held a
campout at Bracker State Forest near Inglewood SE Qld. During that
week-end we
saw a couple of Banded Lapwing in a recently ploughed field. They were
standing
on the ploughed earth - no grass.
Perhaps the ploughing had un-earthed, or attracted a food supply for
them?
