Hi all

Just letting you know that an amazing spectacle of a minimum of 60,000 Oriental Pratincole's are currently feeding on Roebuck Plains along the highway to Port Headland.

These birds are feeding on a large locust plague that is in the grassland and can been seen in several flocks often with 15,000 in each flock.

Some of the photos can be seen at.
