A search in the archive for ‘Tom Green Seat’ provides details of its location and placement, just 4 years ago.  There have been many references to it since then.  Would anyone be happier with ‘’along the gravel path north of the kiosk’’?

Dear Julian,

I have a slight problem with this chatline.  Many (perhaps most) of the contributors have been around this region for a long time, know each other well and know the local lingo/acronyms/shorthand for species.  There appears to be an assumption that all readers do, or ought to, know exactly what/where they are talking about.  Outsiders must feel, sometimes, that they are just that... outsiders, hearing but not being a part of someone else’s private conversation.

 

Having said that, the information that has been generously given to me by COG members when requested has invariably been useful, to which I owe them a million thanks.

that brings up a question I've had for a while now... where IS the Tom Green seat?? I've been searching for a while now...

 

cheers,

Julian

No special Whistler for me, but 6 green Satin Bowerbirds feeding at the northern end of the rainforest gully and a further 3 in the vicinity of Tom Green's seat, incl. 1 bird with a blue bottle cap trying to impress another bird. Also again 3 Rose Robins in total in and around the rainforest gully (today only heard, but over recent weeks also seen a couple of times).
