Syd,
Congratulations on what would have to be the most obscure off-topic posting
in birding-aus history. Hopefully the Birding-aus team organise awards this
year, cause I think your entry would have to be a shoe in for one!
To be helpful though, if you do a search a search on Google, one of the
46,000 results for thinner for correction fluid would surely have the answer
you are looking for. Alternatively, I find Marbig's 'sidewinder' correction
tape to be most useful and a significant improvement on previous corrections
fluids. Even oldies like myself need to move with the times.
Back to birding though, I managed a trip down to Werribee over the Christmas
break and what a great day it was. Stilt Sandpiper, Terek Sandpiper were
newies for me. If only I lived down in the south of the state. I could visit
such a great spot more often, and perhaps even get an eyeball of Laurie's
Short-tailed Eagle. I didn;t see many further posts regarding this sighting.
Did anyone chase it up?
Regards
Moses Moutin
