While checking out the Magpie Larks building an early nest in the large Euc and a large flock of Silver Eyes feasting on the Wattle, I noticed an unobtusive grey bird which I am pretty sure was a Jacky Winter.  Checked Pizzy and Knight and the photos on the COG website. Very quiet and on its own, hoping from branch to branch, no call.  Uniform light grey breast, light scollops on back of wings when folded, may have had a sligh white streak at leading edge of wing, dark adn rather large eyes. Did not know to look for white edge to tail until I read the description but did remember a slight white eyebrow.  Could this be correct. Is it early, late, in the wrong spot? I will keep an eye out for it later.
