In the latest issue of Birdlife, birds from an ancient Egyptian frieze

I wondered about a hybrid, but this post from March 2021 covers that:

Why the ?Red-breasted Meidum Goose? is probably not an extinct species

Hi there…
Hoping to go to Michelmaus Cay off Cairns in the next week or two if possible…
– Just wondering is it worth it?
– Are there any good seabirds on the sand spit? Is it the right time of year?
– What?s the best way to get there/cheapest tour option as we don?t have our own boat??

Thanks in advance
Kirri ?
