Capertee+Deniliquin (and Dubai) trip reports

Hi all, last December I did some birding in the Capertee Valley and then on a drive from Sydney back to Adelaide. I had lots of help from people on birding-aus, thanks!! Highlights were Regent Honeyeaters near Tambo in the Capertee Valley, and Plains Wanderer, Inland Dotterel, Pratincole, Little Curlew and Painted Honeyeater near Deniliquin, and Mallee Emu-wren and Malleefowl at Hattah. I finally finished a report of that trip and have put it on my website http://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~ianr/Birding/. It’s a bit verbose, sorry. The direct link to the pdf is: http://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~ianr/Birding/Reports/capertee_2013.pdf I also realised (as a result of an enquiry from Peter Waanders) that there may be particular Australian interest in my report of a one-night stopover in Dubai last August, on the basis that many Australians travelling to Europe these days will pass through Dubai. Direct link for that report is at: http://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~ianr/Birding/Reports/UAEreport_2013.pdf Cheers, Ian — Prof. Ian Reid ARC Laureate Fellow School of Computer Science University of Adelaide Adelaide, 5005 ph: +61 (08) 83132135 www: http://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~ianr
