Good Morning everyone
I have just returned from the Ashmore Reef trip organised by George Swann from Kimberly Bird Watching Tours with the help of Mike Carter and Rohan Clarke which was one of the most successful trips since its inception. I have posted a few photos from Ashmore itself and over the next couple of days will attempt to add some more. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Simon Mustoe ( Even though the Ashes will end up back in Aus this summer! ) on his magnificent find of the Arabian Shearwater and would urge all of you to try and make the effort to get out on the trip he has organised out of Darwin as I do not think the birds will stay around long as Ian May has said. Mike Carter will be posting a full report on our trip fairly soon but in the meantime here is the link to some of the birds including the Adult and Juvenile Grey-streaked Flycatcher. http://barraimaging.com.au/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup http://barraimaging.com.au/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&cat=0 &cat=0

Just about fainted Geoff…flicking through your Ashmore pix…Long-tailed Antbird!….then I realized that the shots went on from Ashmore striaght to South America…….. Great birds…As an aside , we saw many(mainly juvenile) Grey-streaked Flycatchers moving through the Crocker Ranges (Sabah) about a month ago…..Susan Myers (FG to Birds of Borneo) reckons that they are a rare non-breeding visitor…we certainly saw plenty so maybe there is a bit of an influx at the moment from NE Asia! Off to Madagascar next week…..ahhhhh Cheers, Bill
