Jack Krohn inquires about Grey-crowned Babbler records for the isolated
population on the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne Victoria.

I've just checked Atlas of Victorian Wildlife records for this part of the
state and the last recorded observations of this threatened species were
from 1999 as follows:

- 'Nepean Hwy  6km south of Mt Martha'
- 'Mt Eliza' and
- 'Devilbend Reservoir Hastings West'

I seem to remember there were records of GcBs on the peninsula in the Bird
Observers Club 'Unusual Sightings Reports' recently but cannot recall which
edition.  Would be worth contacting the BOCA headquarters in Nunawading to
find this out.

Let us know how you go Jack, as it is important to keep track of this
declining population which may be down to male-only flocks now (?).

cheers
