g'day all,
Bill Jolly posted a note yesterday (25/11/01)..that
included "... A Black-tailed Native-hen popped up at Oakey
on Friday, another local example of the recent irruption of these
birds"
It is several years since I saw 4 B-t N-h in the Isa area
(at the western shores of Lake Moondarra)
But several weeks ago 5 B-t N-h arrived at our Sewage
Ponds.
Last week Darlene Kneen and I observed them at 3
locations along the Dajarra road (151 road kms south of Mount
Isa)
They were all Cattle Station dams or tanks
We counted 24 of them at Cat dam which is about 20km
from Dajarra.
Regards, Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW Qld.
