Hi Birders, Apologies to all those who have tried to contact me with regard to the Princess Parrots at Newhaven. Thanks to an ill-timed hosting failure my Desertlife website and email is presently offline. I only returned from remote fieldwork last night and discovered the scale of the problem. I am presently full occupied with bat survey work (and the imminent arrival of my firstborn!) in WA so I am not available for bird guiding work in the NT this season. In my opinion, anyone able to head out to Newhaven for the PPs should try to do so- the reserve is a glorious place, the reserve managers are great people and although it is still a remote location, it is comparatively accessible. Lastly, AWC do a great job at Newhaven and all their reserves so they deserve the help of all we birders who care about the outback.To paraphrase Bob Geldof, ‘Give them your f-ing money!’
Cheers, and good luck! Mark Carter
