Hi Annette et al,
The Varied Sitella isn't a common bird on Ainslie
Majura....I don't know but having a feeling for the area I think it is the
same peregrinating party that one sees in my case about every fortnight,they
are sometimes at the back of my house on Mt Majura....As to the Orange
Wing,in Spring a good wheeze is to use a piece of Polystyrene rubbed on a
small square of spittle moistened glass to make a sound like the Y.Robin
alarm,these Sitellas if you stand in cover will go quite mad around one and
flit within 300 mm of ones face,when all that registers seems to be the
orange wings which give the impression of being harrassed by a swarm of
orange Butterflies...Good Luck,Terry Gourlay.
