It doesn't seem to be on the Aus website, so you might need to pop out
to a shop to purchase a copy of the paper ($2.20). It has some
interesting graphics, and a photo of a group of twitchers with
associated optical gear that you probably wouldn't get with an
electronic version. It also has the species count of most of the
people mentioned. I don't think Frank O'Connor's post had made it
onto B-Aus at the time of writing, so unfortunately, there was no
mention of any sandgropers making it to BJ.
Regarding the bird's popularity - one of the key factors about the
GHL's site faithfulness is that people who can't drop everything and
dash off to twitch the bird have the chance to go for it when their
window of opportunity opens.
In my case, I had to wait a few weeks before I had two consecutive
spare days. Technically, because I found the bird within minutes of
arriving at the site, I could have done the return trip in 16 hours,
but I prefer not to drive during hoppabilly time if I have the option.
Regards, Laurie.

I'd also like to make a rare post to birding-aus to congratulate Mark
Whittaker on his Lapwing piece in The Oz today. I thought I was lucky
to
get about 500 words on the bird into The Age, so was frankly astounded
(and a little jealous) that News Ltd devoted four full pages to it - I
might have gone a bit further than just covering my expenses with that
kind of spread!
Cheers
