Rufous SonglarkRe: [canberrabirds [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

A non-breeding/ immature male Rufous
Songlark at Nth Curtin Horse paddocks this morning. It was silent unlike
the 4 at Weddin Mtns calling on 14th Aug. I'd say they are early returns
possibly triggered by warm Aug  in nthn NSW/QLD.
Willie Wagtails returning with six yesterday
and  five today.

cheers

Subject	[canberrabirds] Rufous Songlark

A bit of a surprise this morning was a Rufous
Songlark around the edge of the Aranda ovals. Not singing, just skulking,
but when flushed it sat obligingly in the low branches of a dead tree.
I don't think of this species as normally being here in August, but unless
they are singing they are easily overlooked - or maybe it overwintered.
 
cheers
