Mark et al,
Looks like it might stay that way for a while. The rainfall outlook
for Nov - Jan from the BOM looks rather damp across most of the
country. It looks like we are in for a full la niña event and
according to the NOAA web site it will likely continue into our Autumn
(see http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/ensodisc.pdf
The sea surface temperature chart there certainly looks
interesting) which will make for an interesting summer's birding in
most of the country, with a lot of birds where they should not be and
not where they should be.
Might be a chance to make a killing in the Wellie market in the Alice,
Mark.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford

species absence is just as important as presence from the point of
view of understanding our unique nomadic avifauna on a wider landscape
level. Atlas records form this year are going to be very interesting!
As Chris says, we have got your birds out here in the wet Red Centre
and they are having a lovely time! As I look out my window in Alice
the clouds are gathering again so you non-desert birders might not get
them back for a while yet...
