Just footnote to my earlier post
The front page of the paper is actually quite humorous with the following huge
headline across the page
BIRD BRAINED
How the state government and the council lost ownership of the Broadwater to a
flock of Russian birds!
Then theyve superimposed flying Godwits, Curlews and other waders across the
page including the masthead!
At the base of the page are a row of illustrated waders all with the red and
yellow russian hammer and sickle on them!
I to noticed the errors in the article - on the front page the journo suggests
they are "arriving in their hundreds and nesting" ( hello? - nesting russian
waders!).
They then say that "in affect the Broadwater has been taken possession of by
the Russian birds just as Captain Cook took possession of Australia!"
Then inside is a pic of a Red-capped Plover captioned as follows - "Red-capped
dotterals from Siberia on the new islands" ( When last did a Red-capped Plover
take a Siberian holiday?)
cheers
