Thanks.
I'm intrigued by the "24-Jan-11 Blundells Creek, Warks Road, Namadgi National Park D15 ACT Breeding" entry, which is very near New Chums Road.

Only three breeding records in the COG database so more would be useful.

At New Chum Road mist netting which happened to coincide with the Blitz, we netted a pilotbird with a brood patch. There was some speculation about whether or not there were records of pilotbirds breeding in the ACT?
FYI, brood patches were also found on:
Shining Bronze-cuckoo
White-browed Scrubwren
Brown Thornbill
Striated Thornnbill
Eastern Spinebill
Yellow-faced Honeyeater
Crescent Honeyeater
White-napped Honeyeater
Golden Whistler
Eastern Yellow Robin
Bassian Thrush
