Brown Songlark on Parkwood Rd

[calyptorhynchus via Canberrabirds <>]

This morning at 8am I went down Parkwood Road to where the bitumen ends and there sitting on the fence on the south side of the road was an Australian Bushlark. 30 m further on also sitting on the fence was a male Brown Songlark, and 30 m further on another Bushlark.

I waited 15 minutes or so but neither species seemed interested in singing or displaying; they had probably already finished for the morning.

It was certainly looking a lot different from when I went down there last this time last year. Then the grass was almost nonexistent and there was bare ground everywhere and there was extreme bush fire smoke so it looked like the end of the world. The grass now is so high that it would be impossible to see any grassland birds unless they sit on fences helpfully.
