Some of you may have read my recent posts about a trip to Michelmas
Cay last week and the fact that i didn't see any Black Noddy's.
Well I am just going through my photos in more detail and i have
found a Black Noddy in a photo!!
Does it count as a tick or not??
I know Bob Inglis has an opinion on this as he was in a similar
predicament recently whilst photographing Stints and finding a
Sanderling later (which was potentially a tick) in the background of
his photos. I have heard people's thoughts on that situation from
OZbirdpix but would be interested in what the Birding-Aus community
reckons?
I was admittedly taking alot of photos of the Noddy's in case i had
missed a Black one - there were only about a million to look at!!! So
it wasn't like I wasn't aware of the situation. I was indeed
specifically looking for them.
For those interested it was on one of the reef cruise tender boats
moored just off the Cay. This was also the reason i was photographing
the birds on the boat as it was hard to use bins from the front of a
tinny! (No i'm not any good on pelagic trips either!)
Interested to hear people's thoughts.
Cheers
Dave
