Dear All,
Many thanks for all your replies concerning CIs on proportions in finite populations. People recommended the hypergeometric distribution (the method I used) and a BUGS approach (I don't have the BUGS programming skills). The problem is well covered in the literature, I didn't make the connection between possums with Tb and coloured balls in urns!
best wishes
Guy
