Tim, for the rest of us, could you please tell us in what region, state, territory or country are these places?

The nearest I've seen them to urban Brisbane would be an aquaculture
pond near Rocky Pt [Logan - Gold Coast flood plain].  You also get them
on Moreton Island which is in the BCC limits, but on the far side of
the Bay to the city.

In the recent correspondence on Jabiru,



(1) No one has said much about the (South American) Jabiru.  For me,
it is a very impressive bird, and easily seen in the Pantanal area of
Brasil.- an area quote - "declared by UNESCO as a World Biosphere
Reserve and a Natural Patrimony of Mankind, the Pantanal is the
world's largest wetland area with an area of approximately 200,000
square kilometers".  From my experience (100+ overseas trips),
Pantanal is, at the right time of the year,  one of the best birding
areas anywhere in the world.



(2) In the very early 1970s, I occasionally saw (Australian) Jabiru on
the Brisbane River, Brisbane Qld , near where I then lived in Chelmer.
  I suspect they have long gone but would be delighted to learn that
they are still there. Are there any recent records?



Thanks,
