On 17 June 2000 at Kunnunarra (WA) I observed a
reedwarbler that according to my field notes had a "pale bum". As far as I can
recall it was not calling at the time. Clamerous Reedwarblers were also present
in the same reed bed and up until recently I have dismissed it as one of these.
I am now wondering if the "slightly paler olive-brown lower back and rump" as
described by Danny Rogers and Chris Hassell would be visible in the
field.
There was only one bird observed, I observed only
fleetingly and despite searching from the edge for about 30 minutes was unable
to locate it again. The time of year also meant that it was outside the "summer
migration" season.
