On "60 minutes" (channel 9) this evening was a segment on the Lake Ayre. As many are aware it is full of water after several periods of being bone dry, bringing about the breeding of thousands if not millions of Pelicans, Banded Stilts, Silver Gulls and many other water birds. It mentioned that Pelicans can detect ultrasonic signals from lightning which explains probably how they find this inland sea.
