Single Chestnut-rumped Heathwren seen along Blackys Trail at 10:30 this morning. Bird was among large mixed feeding flock near the button-quail site shown on Geoffrey's map.

Cheers

I seem to recall that there are areas of low heath thereabouts.

Yes Peter  -  that hill is the area in question, where the slope got too step for pine planting, presumably. It is sandwiched between the (former) plantings to the east and open grazing land to the west.   There are several euc species in there.   As to a name,  it is ‘Bluett’s Pines’ for orienteering purposes.  The gate access is maybe 60m east of the gate to what is now a horse trail area on the south side, running up to Mt Stromlo.  In that southern area there are a lot of gullies that were left with native veg that is re-asserting itself now the pines have gone.

Thanks for the hylac report - I'll have to go and see if I can find them. West of the regen area the hill is covered with excellent dry sclerophyll forest. Do you know what that's called (or anyone else)?
