FW: John Young presentation – Adelaide

My apologies for the lateness of this note but I have been, shall we say, indisposed. After some months of trying to persuade John to come to Adelaide to give us ( SAOA, aka Birds SA) the opportunity to receive his Night Parrot presentation, he finally did so on the 29th of August. To say the least the lecture room was packed , at least 200 excited birders being present, and John didn’t fail to impress. His excellent material , capped off with his 15 second video of the Parrot sort of waddling across a short patch of bare sand, was very well received by all Birds SA members. His often highly humorous style was also very much appreciated by all and on behalf of Birds SA members I would like to thank John heartily for the fun evening. We congratulate John on his successful persistence in searching for the Parrot, truly a wonderful effort. Tony Russell, ex VP Birds SA.
