Birdline Western Australia
Published sightings for the week ending 26 Oct 2014.
Wed 22 Oct Grey-crowned Babbler Paraburdoo
Unfortunately I was driving when I spotted six birds sitting on a bush
immediately adjoining the road and didn't have a camera handy - would
have made a great photo! (just out of town on the mine road) I had seen
individual birds in the area, on several occasions previously but not
so many together!!

Tue 21 Oct Shy Heathwren, Western Whipbird. Stirling Range--Mt. Trio
Rd.
1 adult Shy Heathwren about 200m down from car park at 630am sat up on
top of low heath bush right on roadside and sang for about 20 seconds
twice dropping down between efforts. Bright early sunlight no wind.
Distinctive white brow, heavily black streaked underparts and wing
chevron well seen. Bright rufous tail/rump. Cocked tail. A further 1/2
hour of waiting for another show was fruitless. Western Whipbirds x 2
heard only in same area about 40m in on southern side.

Tue 7 Oct Oriental Plover Eyre Bird Observatory beach
Sorry about the late report but just arrived home to Victoria and going
thru and identifying my photos from my recent trip to SW WA. A group of
x5 birds on the shore line on the beach in front of EBO. I am told this
is an unusual sighting for this area.
