The Burren Junction lapwing continues to be available to interested
birders.Along with three others we had increasingly good views between 1615 and
1700 on Wed 5/7 as the bird slowly made its way from the back of the paddock
towards the main road.It wasn't immediately visible when we arrived at1530, was
seen briefly flying towards the Telstra tower, lost to the three groups
searching for about 30 mins, and then flew into the paddock where the extended
views were obtained.It now walks with a pronounced limp due to the growth on
its foot.
My second sighting of this species, having first seen it at Keoladeo NP in
India in Feb 2005
Our round trip from Maleny was 1450kms,one day there,o'nite, and back home by
4pm today.The only other birding of interest was up to 20+ Brown Falcons
perched at regular intervals on the wires between Bellata and Edgeroi, two
grain storage hamlets on the Newell Highway between Moree and Narrabri.
