Canberra Tawny Grassbird in song - film

[Neil Hermes <>]

Everyone is excited about the arrival of “our” Tawny Grassbirds at Jerra. It now turns out that they may even be breeding. To give the birds the privacy they need (and as suggested on the Chatline) Parks staff have arranged appropriate signs. It would be in the birds, and all birdos interest, if these signs could be respected. Everyone is now asked to keep a good distance from the birds to ensure that our activities do not have any adverse impact on the birds. Neil Hermes COG President

That seemed to me to be a scolding call...

Is it possible that they have a nest nearby?

In spite of the hot blustery weather this morning  I managed to get some reasonable footage of these birds. There were two of them.  Birds were also seen at the same time by Martin Butterfield who logged them with ebird.

You can hear and see them sing. Photos, however excellent don't do that and its the voice that allows you to find them - so different from the reed warblers that occur with them.

The soundtrack (I have more) can be made available separately if COG is interested.
