I have had a further chat with my old Gentleman
Farmer friend and showed him both Pizzey & Knight's Field Guide and Gordon
Beruldsen's Field Guide to Nests and Eggs of Australian Birds. There is no
doubt that the bird was a Golden-headed Cisticola, Cisticola exilis.
The eggs and type of nest were the give-away! When he saw the plate
related to the G-HC he immediately said "that's it". He has not
seen the bird for a long time and in 22 years in Warragul (100 kms East of
Melbourne) neither have I. Another bit of
"memorabilia". Cheers, Robbie
Brown.
