Following on from David McDonald's report of Hooded
Robins, Southern Whiteface and Diamond Firetails in the new Birchman's Estate in
Wamboin, we paid a visit this morning and in addition to finding all of those
species in abundance, we also happened upon a Chestnut-rumped Heathwren. If
anyone is interested in trying to find it, it was on Block 17 (across the road
from Block 14 where David McD reported the other species). I can give better
directions if required.
The bird had a dark eye rather than the usual pale
iris of adults (may have been because it was in shadow), so maybe a
sub-adult?
