Subject: How far do guinea fowl range?
Hi Laurie and Birding-aussers,
There was a large group (50 or so) on Magnetic I. in late Nov. 2002. Jo
Wieneke knows all about them and says they have been there for many years.
They were in a semi-urban paddock(s) and gave us the impression that they
were a self sustained group. They shared the paddock with several Bush Stone
Curlews which are like sparrows on Magnetic.
