Hi all

I have just been spotlighting for possums as part of an outdoor education trip and we have all debated over an interesting bird we saw.  It had a very plump body, long tail and skinny head.  The head was brown and the body was a light colour (almost white). It was approximately 25m up a dead tree. The eyes were on the side of its head. We decided that it was mostly likely a lyrebird, but are unsure as it was so high up a tree.
It was seen at Blundell's Creek in the Brindabellas.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Matt.
