G'day all
I've just received my copy of "The birds of Lord Howe Island" by
McAllan et al. - published as a supplement to "Australian Field
ornithology" Viol 21. It's a great read, very comprehensive and an
example of how such local reviews should be written. I was pleased to
see my record of an Oriental Plover listed. I photographed this bird
in mid Sep 1982 on the airstrip - when I was a most inexperienced
birder. Definitely pipped by Barrie Heather who reported 53 from the
airstrip in mid Sep 1982.
Naively, I loaned my slide of the bird I saw to a NSW birder who was
preparing a report on LHI birds a few years later after I'd gained a
consensus ID on the bird. I haven't see the slide since but would like
it back.
That aside I'd recommend the review as an example for anyone preparing
such a paper on their area of interest.
Cheers
