Published sightings for the week ending 3 Aug 2014.
Sat 2 Aug Bush Stone-Curlew Prince Alfred College (restricted access)
Another unusual sighting for this city site! Several observers, including
one familiar with the species from Far North Queensland, reported a bush
stone-curlew on the back oval this morning around 10.30am. Size, markings,
leg length reported are all consistent with this species. As the bird was
fairly tame, it is suspected that this was an escapee. Adelaide Zoo has
been contacted.

Mon 28 Jul Ostrich Dulkannina Stn, nr Marree, Birdsville Track
Further to the recent report, an adult male Ostrich was seen twice, once
three days ago and again today, whilst travelling up and down the
Birdsville Track. The bird is on Dulkannina Station, a couple of stations
out of Marree. Both times it was seen close to the road, and while wary,
did not seem too afraid of people, allowing for approach to within a few
metres by car. This and its apparent familiarity with cows, is leading me
to suspect this is not an entirely wild bird.

Sun 27 Jul Grey Falcon Clifton Hills Stn, Birdsville Track
One pair of Grey Falcons were seen in the late afternoon (5pm) near
Cowarie. A return visit the next afternoon saw only a Brown Falcon and a
pair of Nankeen Kestrels.
