Fwd: Thornbill ID help please.

Yes, both Buff-rumped Thornbills. And what you describe is very typical behaviour for this time of year.

Hi Everyone,

Can someone please help me with identifying these thornbills? I’m not confident with these paler kinds, but my guess is buff-rumped. The two images are of different individuals taken probably less than a minute apart, there was a flock of maybe 20 moving through with brown thornbills amongst them.

This is at Adacumbeun Reserve outside of Queanbeyan. Also saw a golden whistler, scarlet robins, WT treecreepers, and a grey shrike-thrush.

Cheers,

Steve.
