G'day,
Further to my Bunyas Fork-tailed Swift sightings, posted by Mike
Tarbuton (and thanks for not criticsing my poor grammar), I'd just like
to mention what occurred five minutes later about one or two kilometres
further up the road to the Bunyas. A group of eight Helmeted Guineafowl
wandered across the road and proceeded to forage, chuckle and cackle in
the grassy roadside scrub. I realise that this species isn't "real" in
Australia, and I'm not a big fan of game-birds generally, but these
chaps were so much fun to watch as they went (noisily) about their
business. Actually, haven't they been "accepted" for inclusion on the
Australian list based on established escapees in northern Queensland?
What's wrong with the southerners?
Cheers - Trevor.
