Hi Peter, I had intended going today but the preposterous cost of
accommodation put me off. Absolute minimum is $150 per night IF you can
find a vacancy in either Pt Hedland or Karratha. Being mining ports the
price of everything there is sky high - even a little Getz car is $89
per day. Ridiculous.
There's nothing in Whim Creek itself.
I thought it bad enough last week paying $80 per night in Geraldton (
Sunset Beach CP). The one on the foreshore starts at $120 pn.

Dear Birders,
I am catching the 7:10 am flight from Perth to Karratha tomorrow (Sunday
June 3) and have booked a car to drive to Whim Creek. If anyone would
like to share the car they are welcome. I am leaving Karatha to return
to Perth at 10:40 on Monday. I have no idea about accommodation at this
stage!
While in the west I am also going to Geraldton on Monday afternoon
looking for the gull.
Other birds of interest in the area are Lttle Noddy and Chiming
Wedgebill. I gather that the LN is unlikely to be on the Abrolhos at
this time of year - any comments? Seems like the CW is common somewhere
between my two twitch sites - I would welcome suggestions as to where
the nearest spots might be for this species. Regards Peter Marsh
