Couldn’t see any straight sections clear enough the land on – have to be a chopper job. Chopper from where ? —–Original Message—– From: Birding-Aus [mailto:birding-aus-bounces@birding-aus.org] On Behalf Of Carl Clifford Sent: Saturday, 8 November 2014 8:32 PM To: Rohan Clarke Cc: birding-aus@birding-aus.org Subject: Re: [Birding-Aus] Rarities at Ashmore Reef and elsewhere in the Browse Basin Google Earth shows an airport on Browse Is. That would be convenient for birders. Looking at the island on GE, I don’t think I would like to land there. If birds like these are being found on Browse Is., surely there must be similar reaching the mainland. I suppose that the main reason there are few mainland sightings is there are too few observers and too much ground.

On Thursday morning at Browse Island (about 70 km off the Kimberley coast and in the state of Western Australia) they had a Tiger Shrike, 3 Arctic-type Warblers and a Grey Wagtail. At least one of the Arctic-types was heard to utter the diagnostic contact call of Arctic Warbler (not Kamchatka Warbler which appears near-identical) > > They arrived at Ashmore Reef yesterday and have already had an Asian Brown Flycatcher, Pechora Pipit, several Oriental Reed Warblers and several Arctic-type Warblers (amongst a few other bits and pieces). > > They have 10 more days in the Browse Basin doing seabird and shorebird surveys so no doubt there will be a few more goodies found before the trip ends! > > Cheers, > Rohan > > — > Rohan Clarke > www.wildlifeimages.com.au > > Latest updates > http://www.pbase.com/wildlifeimages/root&view=recent > > >
