I think there's some unwarranted mythology about SQT in the ACT. I
fully support Steve and Jeannie's suggestions, and might even go a
bit further. I'd say it's almost impossible to drive along the Bulls
Head - Mt Ginini road (at least during the week, and usually even on
weekends) WITHOUT seeing them; it's just a matter of being aware of
what's happening up ahead. They are almost always in pairs, and are
often seen crossing or even feeding on the road. If you stop they
will often keep pottering about their business, and even if they fly
off it's likely to be initially just up onto the bank or a nearby
log.
At the worst you'll have had a delightful drive in the Snow Gums, a
drive we should all do at least once a season anyway to make the
most of living in Canberra!
cheers all

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could give me some info on where
I could look for Spotted Quail-thrush & Chestnut-rumped
Heathwren, in the ACT & whether I was likely to find them
at this time of year.
Thanks greatly,
Scott Ryan
