The fact that Rock warbler is not already a scheduled species in NSW has
always been a puzzle to me. One of the factors used to determine if a
species should be afforded some protection is if it has a limited
distribution. This certainly applies to Rock warbler. Lots of other
plants and animals with the same distribution i.e. within the Hawkesbury
Sandstone, have been listed.

The only basis appears to be a decline in reporting rates between
atlases. Two other species with a lot overlap in habitat/range with
Gang-gangs, Red-browed Treecreeper and Rockwarbler, also apparently
declined similarly between Atlases. Rockwarbler is more surprising (to
me) than Gang-gang: their habitat seems well conserved.
