I went back yesterday afternoon between about 2 and
4 to try and relocate the heathwren, after an unsuccessful search on
Sunday, and found at least one (or as many as three - 1 bird seen 3 times).
With Hazel and Allan Wright we had great views (a lifer for them, I
think). From the photos I took, it seems to be a different bird to the
one from last Friday as it definitely has the pale iris of an adult,
whereas Friday's appeared darker, and the legs on this one were pinker, although
HANZAB states that immatures are indistinguishable from adults. Possibly just
different light and conditions on the 2 days. It was in the same area as
previously stated - this one was making a scolding call like a scrubwren which
alerted me to it initially.
For those interested, photos are at:
