Having moved to Australia from the US just recently I have had some trouble
with some locations posted on this list. I - and I guess others as well - would
appreciate to get more information from the subject lines. E.g. "NSW, Sydney,
Cumberland State Forest, 7 Emperor Penguins" Not only for rarities such as the
Lesser Yellowlegs, but also for all the influx posts (e.g. Woodswallows) and
other site-related posts. Not only the country is huge (sometimes I don't even
know if a post relates to a location on the other side of the continent!), but
even most of the states (meaning even "NSW" sometimes is not enough to find the
site!

Established protocols ask for a state in the subject line as well as
the location....... Would be nice to see though!!!!

Yes, a Lesser Yellowlegs has turned up at South West Rocks!
Ken Shingleton found it on Sunday, Oct 28th. Yesterday morning he took
out Keith Brandwood to see it, then I heard about it and went out with
him again in the afternoon. We were there from 3pm to 4pm and got good
looks at it through his scope from about 30-50m. It is in one of the
last swamps along Boyter's Lane, Pelican Island. We were able to see all
its defining features including its rump pattern, chest colouration,
bill size and shape, its eyebrow, and its long yellow legs. It was
accompanied by Sharpies and Marsh Sandpipers. It is clearly larger than
a Marshy. Ken expects an influx of "bird-tourists" as a result of this
find....
