I have a suggestion of what to do with all your bird magazines, especially
current ones. I take mine, that on those rare occasions when I go to the
doctor, accountant, palm-reader, etc., and leave them in the waiting rooms for
other bored people to read. My guess it may gather some interest from people
waiting; might spark a little interest in conservation and even gather some new
members, donations etc. and now they don’t pile up in the house.

> Grey Teal (Anas gracilis) (12) There were a couple of waterholes in
> Barrananna Gorge at most 30 metres by 10 metres. I think I have seen
> waterholes there before, though many years ago, so maybe they are permanent.
> Apart from a single heavy downpour in February there has been almost no rain
> for several years. Dead trees away from the creek lines and dead roos
> everywhere were abundant.
> Cruising in one of the waterholes was a large family of grey teal, mum, dad
> and 10 ducklings. I am sure the ducklings were too small to have flown in, so
