last Friday at North Ridge Reserve, Cooma, with the
BA campout group I observed a small bird on a stony track that I could not
readily recognise. By the way it was spreading tailfeathers like a fantail I
initially thought of a rufous fantail but the smaller size and lack of forehead
colour patch made me eliminate this possibility. On our return to Scottsdale I
mentioned this bird to both Sandra and president Chris and we left it
in on an unidentified species basis.At present I am checking
with Cooma Council in an attempt to obtain a birdlist for this reserve and plan
to provide more info shortly about local knowledge of this
bird.
