Hello Niven,
In a recent letter you requested that you be informed of sightings of birds
made in the NT. On i3th July last
David Siems and myself visited your area . The trip was designed not as a
general birding visit but to try to find a selected list ,David was looking
for three or four birds, I searching for twenty-four.
Our search met with "you win some , you lose some". So this list of
sightings really only accounts for those that "got in the way "as it were.:
