G'day all,
I am so glad to hear Glenn's comment about the white tail. I've only seen a
couple of Zitters in Aus but saw scads a decade ago working in coastal
saltmarsh and grassland in West Java, Indonesia. I have found the distinctly
whiter tail-tip to be a dead giveaway, especially in flight, but have never
heard/read of anyone else saying this. You know how it is, you begin to think
you must be imagining it. Thanks for restoring my confidence, Glenn!
