Hi charles,
You were lucky to get a 4 sec. look, I reckon I
have a 1 sec. look combining Rufus and Noisy Scrubbirds.
The name of the palm/creeper is Lawyer Cane, ther
are several species: Wait a While, Fish Tailed Lawyer Cane, Yellow Lawyer
Cane, another one called Wait a While and Vicious Hairy Mary, they are all
Calamus species. I like the old north Qld. name: Come back
Quick.

Hi all,
I was almost certain I saw a Rufous Scrub Bird at 9.00am on 18th, not
confident enough to tick however due to poor light and 4 second obstructed
viewing. As I tried to get closer I was grabbed by those palms that have those
razor sharp spikes that grab on to you (name?), almost tore my finger off (and
left several splinters in it). May have helped if I had also knew call of the
bird!
