Good eye,
I note from birding-aus archives that Striated
Fieldwrens were suspected in 1998 to be extinct in the Sydney region, but I'm
happy to report that I've readily found them on repeat visits more than a month
apart (today and May 26) perched and scampering about on the clifftop track from
Potter Point to Boat Harbour, in the Botany Bay NP at Kurnell. They're readily
seen on the tracks, sand and rocks around the low damp heath on the
clifftop.
Unfortunately however this area has become a
favorite haunt of trail bikes now, where the riders flaunt the restrictions for
the park entry Sir Joseph Banks Dve., and going roaring along this track and up
and down the sandstone creekbeds.
Goodnight
