I recently returned from a wonderful search for the Night Parrot in the
Channel Country of western Queensland with Scott Baker and Bernie O’Keefe.
We failed to definitively connect with a Night Parrot, though a couple of
interesting calls were heard.
I can reveal that Lark Quarry is a new site for probable Night Parrot
records, and that notwithstanding fears that the species would be
imperilled by an invasion of twitchers, just a handful of vehicles have
made the difficult journey to search for it in this part of the world since
John Young made his landmark discovery.

A hearsay report of a Night Parrot caught in a mist net? How could a captured bird end up not officially reported?

Is there a central repository of all these possible/probably Night Parrot sightings? Given that a lot of them had until recently not much more credibility than a thylacine sighting, I wonder if most of them were never reported.
