Thanks Greg - a big help as I'm heading for the Mallee Emu Wren and
Short-tailed Grasswren sites (both would be lifers) as I head up to the Alice
from Brisbane.
Currently at Corowa after catching up with 4 Painted Snipe at the Coreen site
earlier today - they were flushed from the grass between the road and the swamp
which is only a few hundred metres south of the Coreen township sign on the
southern side of town. This is a particularly great find for me as I missed it
at the BA 100th in Adelaide when it was seen at Pt Noarlunga on a field trip
and I left the Alice the same day as it was seen at the Ponds there! I thought
I was doomed never to see one. Added to the SIPO in Brisbane, it has been a
great trip so far.
Heading for Chiltern tomorrow and hopefully another lifer - Regent Honeyeater.
