A Comfortable New Year

[Geoff Price <>]

Greetings Russ and all
I finally snared the Scarlet Honeyeater, a bird I thought was a hoax, 
at 10:45 a.m. on 1 Jan.  Nursing a rather typical new years hangover, 
I thought to walk it off on a pleasant little track off the 
campground at Buchan (East Gippsland, Victoria).  Bagged a small 
group of them.  Luckily they only stayed around for a minute or so, 
as looking up was making me dizzy.  The usual celebratory imbibations 
that tend to follow a tick were a little more subdued than normal on 
this occasion.  Only three more to go for 400 in Victoria!
Cheers
Geoff
