Mon 28		Ostrich Dulkannina Stn, nr Marree, Birdsville Track
		Further to the recent report, an adult male Ostrich was seen twice, once three days ago and again today, whilst travelling up and down the Birdsville Track. The bird is on Dulkannina Station, a couple of stations out of Marree. Both times it was seen close to the road, and while wary, did not seem too afraid of people, allowing for approach to within a few metres by car. This and its apparent familiarity with cows, is leading me to suspect this is not an entirely wild bird.
