Hm ! I have failed to see the Rufous Scrub bird five times at separate
locations probably because I didn't try to walk it down. Heard it several
times, yes, but walk into its habitat, no. I still haven't actually seen
one.

Carl I think regardless it raises the issue of what extent people go to to
see birds.
I admit I'm guilty to some extent of what some may see as "breaking the
rules".
Once seeing the Rufous Scrub bird in Barrington Tops, I walked through their
habitat to get literally on top of one. The bird was a metre away from me
(wish I had a Go Pro). Amazing experience but I felt a little guilty.
When I raised this with some birders they all said it was fine to do.
There is no way I would have seen one had I not walked 40 metres across
their habitat.
The other was using call back to see a Western Whipbird at Cheynes Beach.
Cheers,
Charles Hunter

Young said that the suggestion by a birder of using fire to flush Night
Parrots was done "in jest". A pity that this had not been mentioned in his

Hopefully this matter can be put to rest.
