Ha! I didn't realise this theory had a name - but it certainly happens all
the time to us. The bird that originally got us into birding (Blue-billed
Duck) eluded us for some two years before we saw our first non-captive bird,
now it almost seems that if we go out on a weekend and don't see one it's a
significant event! Same with the Musk Duck - for some reason it remained the
only Victorian duck we hadn't seen for a long time, now we see them
everywhere. I'm sure that if I checked our bird list I would find at least
half a dozen examples!

Hi All,
Just saw two black breasted buzzards chasing each other out the window at
work today (only just saw my first one the other day). When it rains it
poors! Another one for the glossy black theory.
Have any others ever had a long stint until there first observation of a
species and then found they see quite a few in a short period after that?
The glossy black theory!
cheers
