Firstly, I¹d like to thank all those who offered advice on birding in Melbourne, and especially to Greg Hunt and Bob Miller who took me to the one and only Werribee, and Anthea and Brian Fleming who showed me Wilson¹s Reserve. I¹d wanted to meet Anthea and Brian for so long and thoroughly enjoyed my morning with them. And there¹s really nothing like birding with a couple of blokes like Greg and Bob – birders who combine a wonderful sense of irreverence with expertise and thoughtfulness. A great morning made better by the including of lunch. Having had several meals at Leanyer Sewage Ponds I felt quite at home!
I¹d also like to publicly thank Judith Hoyle for sending me her old binoculars. I¹ll be taking these out to Arnhem Land next trip to give to members of my family who are interested in birding.
Michael and I are presently preparing the 3rd edition of Birds of Australia’s Top End and would like to include actual bird calls, whether on DVD or whatever. Does anyone have any ideas?
Regards Denise
