g'day all,

"I've just learned that a flock of 6 bustards have been
camped in a
paddock north of Hamilton for the last couple of weeks.
They departed
today but left behind one that had possibly flown into
powerlines or a
fence and has some damage to its hip."
A bustard also was killed a by flying into power
lines about 600 meters from the Mount Isa sewage ponds about 2 weeks
ago.
The sewage ponds coordinator told me that the same
lines were respaced where they went over the ponds some years
ago.
By coincidence, 2 days ago a Night-heron died when
its throat got tangled in a strand of a barb wire fence immediately outside
the ponds.
Regards, Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW Qld.
