David, I think one of the contributing factors as to why the GHL has attracted more attention than other rarities is the degree of site-faithfullness it has shown, thus improving the odds of twitchers being successful.The bird has been known (by birders) to have been in Burren Junction now for nearly 6 weeks, in a relatively contained area.Everyone who has gone to see it has got it , as far as we know, so it isn't hard to see the bird.It isn't even hard to get to Burren Junction, though it of course takes time and money.So it's become a dead-set cert, or as poker players would say, the pot-odds are heavily in your favour.Just think of the attention it would have generated if it had landed in Centennial Park in Sydney. ( And I'm very happy to be one of those who has seen it) Russ Lamb, Maleny,SEQ |
