Yes Matt, Superb Lyrebirds roost at night high in trees. In the evenings they hop up, branch by branch, and are safe up there. In the mornings they glide down to the ground.
Best wishes - David

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.
