Atherton Scrubwren nesting out of season.

[Del Richards <>]

    Whilst guiding at Mt. Lewis last Saturday 23/04/11 our group 
watched a pair of Atherton Scrubwrens gathering skeletal leaves as 
lining for their nest which they had almost completed.
    Their normal breeding season is from October until December. Their 
nests are generally well hidden usually in grass or ferns on the ground. 
Last November I located a pair with a nest six metres up behind an 
Elkhorn Fern at the "Grassy Patch" at Mt. Lewis which was most unexpected.
