I don't know how you estimate the number of Little
Curlews around Darwin at the moment but I'm seeing them in all sorts of places
this year. Including huddling on footpaths on the edge of the Stuart Highway, in
peoples front yards (well some anyway), plus the usual places like Knuckeys
Lagoon, Turf farms, playing fields, sewerage ponds & they seem to
particularly like radio communication facilities, but what I haven't seen is any
with bands or flags. Over the last couple of weeks there has been a small flock
of Brolgas at Knuckeys Lagoon usually on the pond closest the
highway.
To date I haven't seen or heard any Channel Bill
Cuckoo's around town, maybe someone else up here has?
