re: Black Grasswren

["Niven McCrie" <>]

Years ago I saw several on Mt Elizabeth Station, off the Gibb River 
Rd. The owner/manager of the station apparently will take people to a 
site for them, though friends and I just made our own way round the 
property, finding them for ourselves in an area a lot closer to the 
homestead. We had one fruitless day searching in excellent-looking 
habitat, then the following day we found them in crappy, burnt-out 
stuff (typical grasswren tactics in my experience). Like some of the 
other grasswrens, it seems that if you luck onto the right site then 
finding/viewing them is very easy. They were very active, calling from 
in the open, and had a great deal of appeal (not sure if anything 
sexual).
