Hi all
first up many thanks to those who gave me Eric's email and particularly to Eric
for his reply with directions to where he saw the Banded Lapwing at the
weekend.
I visited the Macquarie Uni site this morning (28 May) at about 7:20am and
there was no sign of a Banded Lapwing at either the main lake or the pond
further up campus towards Epping Rd (or the lake a 2nd time when I walked back
to it). I could not see any sign of the bird on any of the other wide open
spaces near the sports centre either. However, I would note that somebody had
walked their dog (on a lead and in a controlled responsible manner I might add)
past the main lake just as I arrived the first time; the second pass of the
lake would have been 15 minutes or so later.
Given the amount of short cut grass and flat rooves with gravel on them around
the Macquarie Park area, I would not discount the lapwing being somewhere else
in the area. I'll keep an eye out (including the birds that loiter around the
Optus campus where I work).
Cheers
Tom Wilson
