We have headed north for a few days and have been walking in the Border
Ranges and Nightcap National Parks. Apart from the usual scrub turkeys,
spinebills, wrens etc we have seen a family of Rufous Scrub-Birds, a Golden
Whistler, a Lewins Honeyeater, a Pale Eastern Robin or 2 and a pair of
Whip-Birds having a barney on the track right in front of us! We also saw 2
other birds that we are having trouble identifying - they were slightly
smaller than the Rufous Scrub-Birds with the same basic dark brown colouring
but with a red-brown throat. Their tails were much shorter than the Scrub
Birds tails and they had 2 quite distinct - darker brown/black - lines along
their wings. They weren't as timid as the Scrub-Birds - just ignored me and
kept rummaging about in the leaf litter. Any suggestions??
Thanks
