Birding-Aus-ers might be interested to know that a sighting of Eurasian
Curlew (Numenius arquata) in Australia has been accepted by BARC (Birds
Australia Rarities Committee).
The sighting was submitted to BARC by Chris Hassell and relates to a
sighting at Broome (Western Australia) on 26 Nov 2007 and is accepted as the
first confirmed sighting in Australia of that species.
Details of the case summary can be seen by going to the BARC web-site hosted
by Tony Palliser at
http://users.bigpond.net.au/palliser/barc/barc-home.html
Go to the page "Index of Case Summaries Volume 7" and look at Case 545.
A photo of the bird is on Page 1 of the "Rarity Photographs" section of the
BARC web-site.
Now I know what to really look for.
Congratulations Chris. That should give Eastern Australian birders an
incentive.
Cheers
