Inskip Pt, Qld, 13 - 150603 Part 1

[Andy Burton <>]

Graham,


last year I escorted a US tourist into the Barrington Tops Wilderness 
in a very successful search for Rufous Scrub-Bird.
At one stage he was 'caught short' and in mid-relief flushed yet 
another Scrub-bird, almost from between his feet.
I missed it; not looking on that occasion.
