Hi All,
In the winter of 2003, there was a single Pale-headed Rosella hanging
around the University campus and Agricultural Station in Bathurst for
about 4 weeks. I assumed it was an aviary escapee rather than yet
another piece of evidence for global warming, but maybe not...(at the
time, I did mention it to an experienced birder friend and he concurred
with the former explanation).
Another slightly singular bird on campus at the moment is a (male)
Darter, obviously not out of its range, but surely out of its comfort
zone! It's not exactly stuffy at 3 o'clock in the morning here at
present (we got the coldest June day on record last month) and as
Darter's aren't equipped with the same sort of thermal under-feather
wear that Cormorants are, I can't help wishing it would take itself off
to warmer climes...there must be some very fat fish in the uni dam that
make the pain worthwhile!
Tiffany.
Bathurst, 200km west of Sydney.
