With these sort of sightings you have to wonder how many other
individuals of the same spp arrive in Australia and are never seen. I
have visited Derby briefly and remember how much suitable habitat for
wandering pittas to visit temporarily there is around it, and for
hundreds of kilometers further afield about. Perhaps this just the
first one that's been seen in town!
