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
