Yesterday I went up Warks Road for a last chance at
Cicadabird that has been reported up that way. No luck there but I did see an
antechinus and wonder whether anyone can help me to identify it. I observed it
about 0800 (about 1.5 hours after dawn) climbing down a dead and blackened
stump that was about 2 metres tall. It appeared to be a similar colour (possibly
a bit lighter) to a white-throated treecreeper that was climbing up the stump.
My Menkhorst field guide suggests that Dusky are
completely terrestrial but are partly diurnal. Agile on the other hand are mostly
nocturnal so I am confused.
Any help gratefully received.
Regards
Alastair
