Apologies for not putting this 'out there' yet. Its been very hectic (but
crazy fun)
But species #721 was Semipalmated plover at Simpson's Beach Broome on 28
October, which appears to be an Aussie Big Year record. This followed an
amazing week on George Swan's Ashmore trip. I highly (highly) recommend it just
read the trip report reported on this forum by Mike Carter!
Then off to Lord Howe Island for a nice slow-down, with Mrs and a few
workmates. WB Storm-petrel and LHI Woodhen were only ticks. Highlight was
meeting and spending some time with Andrew Silcox from Birdlife Aus.
