small birds foraging on big electricity pylon

["Philip Veerman" <>]

I have just come from a visit to Kambah Pool and noticed a flock of about 20 Buff-rumped Thornbills pass by the big electricity pylon (the last one before the wires go over the Murrumbidgee River). Several of them stopped off to forage on the metal structure itself. Even more odd was one White-throated Treecreeper doing the same thing, climbing around the tower up to about 4 metres high (as though it was a tree). I haven't noticed that before.
