Hi everyone,
        I am heading to the little Desert soon (on that special birdwatching 
weekend Oct26) and although I have been there a few times I have never been 
able to find either Slender-billed Thornbill or Rufous Fieldwren.  Both are 
almost certainly inhabitants of the Little Desert area and I think the 
Slender-billed Thornbill is hard to see elsewhere in Victoria.  I was 
wondering if anyone had seen these birds in or near the Desert and if so if 
they could share their sighting spots with me.
        Also Slender-billed Thornbill looks pretty easy to confuse with the 
common Buff-rumped Thornbill.  Does anyone have any good ID tips.  Does 
habitat preference play a part in identification.
                                                        Best Wishes
                                                        John Boyce
