Glad you have found a Brown Songlark down there, Frank. There has
always been at least one down that way throughout each of the last
three seasons but I have not seen or heard one during my, admittedly
less frequent, visits this year.

Marnix has mentioned that there seem to be several Brown Songlarks
around this year. There was a Brown Songlark singing strongly at
about 7.15am on Sunday 2nd December in the paddock full of
Patterson's Curse on the way down to the Red-backed Kingfisher site
at West Macgregor. I have previously noted Brown Songlark over near
the Holt pony club.
The water in the creek had subsided by at least half a metre on the
previous day, and Fairy Martins were inspecting the bank, presumably
with a view to starting nesting again. A single Red-backed
Kingfisher (male, I think) was also inspecting the bank. A distant
RBK was calling.
The pair of Rainbow Bee-eaters is still present; Red-browed
Firetails were carrying long grass stalks into a bramble patch where
two nests appeared to be under construction; one Zebra Finch, Brown
Falcon and Little Eagle were other notables.
