White fronted chat

["Eric Wenger" <>]

We saw some white fronted chats yesterday afternoon - this seems to be a
fairly unusual sighting in the A.C.T.  They were with diamond & rb
firetails, wrens and yellow rumps.  There were also some rufous songlarks
singing.  Have attached some photos, taken by husband Eric.

To get there, take Coppins crossing road.  Park near the locked gate closest
to Uriarra Road.  According to the 'Canberra' topographic map, the
coordinates where we saw the birds are 684.10 E; 6091.5 N.  (ie, follow the
path at the gate and when you get to a 'cross roads' keep going straight and
it's fairly close to there).  We saw at least 4 of them at any one time but
there could have been more.  They swallowed some huge caterpillars.
