SEARCH FOR ELUSIVE DODOS

Unfortunately  not carrying a camera  at the time, our Shipping Reporter  says  he  spotted a large  V-shaped  flock  of  unidentified   birds   heading into clouds   high  over  Townsville. They appeared to be in a classic  migrating  configuration  and  could have been  overseas  arrivals , possibly from  Siberia.

 By  the time he  had armed himself with  a camera, the birds  had vanished.  Nevertheless, he went   searching for  them , in  the  chase  shooting   numerous  cloud   formations  in  which he  thought  they  could  be  hiding , or from  which  they  might  emerge ..


Street  lights  produced some  flapping  red  herrings  which  looked like   birds from a   distance .

Unidentified bird snapped during  the   hunt, not  thought to  be a  Dodo.
