It's "working from home" in the academic sector...
Australasian Bittern was my final tick for Australia - saw one at Greenfields Wetlands outside Adelaide with my father-in-law. I was foaming at the mouth, pointing at the sky while gibbering incoherently and desperately trying to get the camera on it while he watched bemusedly. The tables were turned an hour later at Parafield when he got to look inside a rare WW2 aircraft. Sadly, I got much better photos of the aircraft...
All the best from the cold, dark North.
Cheers,

Tony

Hang on John, I thought you were the boss? Bosses don't take sickies, they just 
have meetings with important clients, in my experience.....  :-)

Good luck with it.

Tomorrow morning I'm hoping to visit location where Tom Wilson saw a brazen
Australian Bittern multiple times this morning and has reported on Birdline
NSW. This is my bogey (nemesis!) bird, and I'm prepared to chuck a sickie
tomorrow to even the score. I'm not familiar with the Pitt Town Lagoon site,
which I understand is huge. If anyone can give me Tom's contact details off
line, or expand for me off line a mud-map for dummies as to where Tom's
description of the site is, it would be greatly appreciated! Will research
tonight, but thought I'd get in early on Birding-Aus as I know there are at
least a couple of Pitt Town regulars around. Maybe one would like to join
me!
