Hi All,
Have just spoken to Adrian Boyle who was buzzing with the excitement of yet 
another new bird for Australia. He asked me to pass on a little more info on 
the Eurasian Curlew seen today on Eighty Mile Beach, NW WA. It was seen well by 
a number of people (see Mike's email below) and it sounds like some excellent 
photographs were obtained. It was not found about three hours later when a 
larger group from the AWSG searched for it. The team is not catching tomorrow 
so further attempts will be made to relocate it and an update on the outcome of 
this search will be posted tomorrow evening (WA time). Anybody hoping to visit 
should hold off until after this update. The site is accessed via private 
property and permission to visit is essential. The Broome birders have offered 
to co-ordinate permission for any access attempt in the coming days so please 
do not contact the station directly.

Cheers,
Rohan Clarke
