Acting upon information received from members I went to Stromlo Park this
brisk, sparkling morning and now have White-fronted Chat scalps hanging from the
life-list lodge pole. The Brats came too so I experienced a surfeit of
chats before reaching Stromlo Park. Following Milburn's suggestion we swept the
grassy area out front of the grandstand with binos and located four on the
ground and approached, but as predicted they soon flushed and again mentor
Milburn's prediction was spot on as they alighted atop a fence. We sneaked
forward but didn't push closer than 25m before glassing them and had
pleasing views.
So thanks to members who responded to my request for information on
locating these birds. This time it came into its own as a chat line.
John Layton.
