Hall TSR - Brown treecreeper

["Jenny Bounds" <>]

This is an interesting sighting and the questions I ask is where has it come from, where is the nearest group of these birds?

 

Hall is at the western end of a large woodland corridor which runs to Newline, but BTCs have disappeared from most of this - they are locally extinct at Mulligans Flat and Gooroo reserves, but there are still small groups in the Majura Field Range and of course at Newline.   Im aware that Brown Treecreepers were recorded by Geoff Butler and Ian Fraser when undertaking a survey in the stringybark woodlands of north Gungahlin for the planning authority several years ago - in the area of the proposed suburb of Jacka I think; this is some distance away from Hall TSR.  As far as I know, BTCs have never been recorded at the COG woodland sites north of Hall.
