I saw a only a single pair of White-fronted Chats at Stromlo last week on a quick visit. They were foraging in the rough alongside the grass running track some 100 metres east of the main building. On every occasion that I have seen the chats they have always been in and around the main car park and running track and not near the creek, but then I have usually not wandered down that far.

Cheers

Were the White-fronted Chats near the road adjacent to the creek at Stomlo Forest Park?  
There are a number of GOG members who have not managed to see the W-f C. I saw 2 not far from the road adjacent to the creek. A male and a female were on the ground near one of the drainage pipes under the magnificent grassed path/bike way.
For those still in search of the W-f C Tobias emailed me to say he often see these birds in the creek area.

Saturday morning from Woodstock NR Mary Gorman and I saw a Peregrine Falcon perched for around 1/2 hour on a dead tree (cyprus?) not far from Shepherd's lookout on the other side of the Murrumidgee. We also saw flocks of Red-browed and Double-barred Finches.

At about 11.30 we saw perhaps 20 White-fronted Chats at Stomlo Park, near the road. There were also many Richards Pipits.
