Having previously participated in George Swann's late-October Ashmore Reef
birding trip, I'm very excited about the prospect of the upcoming 20-27 October
trip. As usual, George, Rohan Clarke and Mike Carter will be on board to
combine roles of guiding and collecting data for Rohan's fascinating research
projects. George tells me that at this stage, a whopping five spaces need
filling before the trip becomes viable. This is a selfish plea for anyone who
hasn't (or has!) had the incredible experience of exploring the massive seabird
colonies on East Island, Ashmore - or West Island, Lacerpede Islands (imagine
30,000 Roseate Terns in one compacted roost), or participated in the ultimate
vagrant hunt on West Island Ashmore, or seen the pelagic specialties of
Australia's slice of the Indian Ocean to help make this trip possible - and
dramatically enhance my 'Big Year' opportunities. I guarantee you'll be glad
you did; it is a life-changing experience. You can find out more about the trip
from George's website at http://kimberleybirdwatching.com.au. For more specific
information about the October trip, email George at
.
Best wishes,
John Weigel
