Australian Pratincole in Noosa, SEQld

Hi Everyone, In case there are birders who are keen to see a pratincole on the coast, we saw one yesterday on the northern sandspit of the Noosa River, SEQ. I was away for last month’s survey, but one of my companions said it is the same bird (stake his life on it) that they were unable to ID with a quick glimpse last month. (In their notes for last month they described a bird like a small kestrel.) This suggests the bird may have been around for a while. If you go there, please be aware of Red-capped Plover runners on the same sandspit. The parents will let you know if you worry them. Cheers, Jill — Jill Dening Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia 26° 51′ 41″S 152° 56′ 00″E =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au http://birding-aus.org ===============================
