Hello all,

Whilst driving down to Lorne, south west vic last Friday had an unexpected sighting of a Rufous Bristlebird appearing where else but in the middle of the highway. The particular stretch of road was about halfway between Aireys inlet and Lorne, so it wasnt in the National Park which I was surprised at, however the dense coastal scrub on either side of the road looked like very suitable habitat. This was my first sighting of any Bristlebirds and was a terrific surprise. It was quite a bit larger than I expected....Eastern Whipbird size, and unmistakable. Beautiful area along that coastline, hopefully it can remain that way.
cheers,
-Daniel-
