I suppose you have all heard of the unusual visitor in Alice Springs the last week?
A Forest Wagtail (normally found indonesia) has turned up and caused quite a stir with the twitchy mob!, Story via link below

yes, and it is still there as of today
are you going for a drive
My flights from Canberra to Brisbane were already booked for this weekend
Next weekend I was planning a drive to Chiltern, Vic to look for Regent Honeyeater however, I wonder how many frequent flyer points I would for Canberra-Alice Springs

Good luck!, i reckon the little fellow is hanging around for a while, its too far to fly home!
And too far for me to drive!
I'm sure we'll see some pics though!
HendoNT I think that you were away in March when I visited the NT and reported a Spotted Whistling-duck at Fogg Dam http://www.eremaea.com/BirdlineArchive.aspx?Birdline=4&From=20130320&To=20130330
3rd reported sighting in NT with 2 previous at Leanyer STW
I suggested a juvenile but was corrected by ?? (can't remember)
Peter
Wasn't me mate, i wouldn't know a spotted whistling duck if i fell over it!
