Lindsay I’m so glad to hear this. We used to see them a lot here at Harold’s Cross around the house and in the forest, but not for a couple of years, so it’s great to know they are still in the area.

I finally got rid of the monkey on my back.  After 15 years I finally saw a Spotted Quail-thrush.  Driving down from Tallaganda Forest towards Rossi yesterday afternoon, one trotted across the road in front of the car before taking to the air briefly and plunging into a patch of sedge on the roadside never to be seen again.  Both Rhonda and I got a good look including the white tips of the fanned tail in flight. No doubt I will now see them everywhere.

 

Regards
