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.

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)?
