I hope some new/rare people venture outside their normal "podcast range" and find this episode!
Amendments:
I forgot to mention Southey in the list of authors responsible for the compilation of bird reports from the RAC. They are accurately cited below. My apologies!
Also, I meant black CURRAWONG, not burrawong! Sorry for that mistake - I was having trouble saying the name, and evidently still had trouble even when I thought I'd nailed it haha.
