On my regular walk along Police Creek (Gladstone QLD) this morning, I was
pleased to note that Red-backed Fairy-wrens have returned (they have taken off
for a while after their nesting site was sprayed and the grass died). Upon
their return, they seemed to have picked up a female Superb Fairy-wren. There
were 5 females in a group, one of which had a very distinct rufous eye band.
Below is a link of two grab shots I managed, one of each species.
Two questions for the group: 1. Can someone please confirm the ID of what I
have called the Superb Fairy-wren? and, 2. Is it a common occurrence to find
two species of Fairy-wrens within a group?
