Corflutes left over from the recent federal election campaign have been used to overcome a tense situation on Magnetic Island. A visiting lolloping puppy in the property at the back of Little Darwin's residence upset our nesting Curlews. Shrieking , wings outstretched , the Curlews ran up and down the fence in a vain attempt to frighten the dog away , two eggs left unattended in the noisy confrontation. The placid scene above shows Curlew sitting on the eggs , a variety of corflutes , including one for Cathy O'Toole , who won the seat of Herbert , forming a barrier along the fence line so that the combatants cannot see each other .
