Is there any doubt about the identification of this Brown Treecreeper? If
not, this is a very exciting find! When I first came to Canberra about 15
years ago, Brown Treecreepers could always be seen near the horse gate at
Campbell Park, but I don't think they have been recorded there now for about
ten years. Apparently they don't move around much, and I understand there is a
plan to reintroduce them at Goorooyaroo/Mulligan's Flat. The Newline birds
seem to have disappeared on my last few visits so maybe they do move around
more than is realised?
