I would personally like to thank all the students who have been involved with the Bird Observer’s Club over the past years, but, especially, Mick Brackley and Laurie Morrison who have been involved with this project for four years.

Many townspeople have helped us with information and we thank them for their help. Ken Morrison, National Park Ranger, deserves a special mention for his enthusiastic and valuable assistance. Roy Wheeler and Rex Buckingham of the Bird Observers Club have assisted us greatly with the collection of information and Steve Wadsworth went to great trouble to provide photographs for us and, of course, helped us find and photograph the Beach Stone Curlew.
