Hi all,
I'm currently in South Australia and have been for the last eight weeks or so.  
I've noticed the Birdline entries about Black-tailed Native-hens in Victoria 
and over the last couple of weekends, at least, I've seen Black-tailed 
Native-hens at almost every place I've been to, especially if there is water 
nearby.  They are usually a rarity at home in Victoria and worth noting.
Is this an unusual year for them in South Australia as well or are they usually 
more common than Purple Swamphens in SA?
I've seen BTNHs on Plumbago Station (north of Mannahill, Thompson's Beach, 
Clare, Rock's Reserve near Balaklava and at a small dam between Riverton and 
Marrabel.  I almost drove over one and saw a few that had been skittled.
Just wondering?
