While holidaying on the NSW south coast this week I visited a favourite spot in Bodalla state forest near Narooma. A fire trail runs along a dry creekbed in beautiful rainforest. Some of the tree ferns are over two storeys high. As in a previous visit in January 2009 I again encountered a single Yellow-throated Scrubwren. This time I got extensive views of the male in the open. In 2009 it stayed true to it's name and skulked in the dark understorey. Since this species is regarded as sedentary it's likely there is a small population in Bodalla SF. There is plenty of suitable habitat. I welcome others thoughts. Other birdlife included Brush Cuckoo, Large-billed Scrubwren (also seen at Flying Fox Bay on the Ringlands Rainforest Walk) and Variegated Fairy-wren.
