Hi Peter,
John Seale and Craig Cassady have had both the
Bassian and Russet-tailed Thrushes at the Glade in Dorrigo National Park, the
Bassian being the more common. I have only observed the Bassian. The
white panels in the tail of the Russet-tailed are a good character but the
Red Kraznozem soil could discolour the tail feathers. If the white, or
dirty white, areas were more than just small patches it was probably a
Russet-tailed.
I have had both the Torresian Crow and Forest Raven
at Dorrigo NP and thought that I had recorded the Australian Raven there, but a
quick check of my records failed to locate a record. Stephen Debus
recorded Australian Raven in the Park on 14.11.85. Australian Ravens may be an
infrequent visitor from the open pastureland of the area.
Did you find the Mangrove Honeyeaters in the
Tweed?
Regards
Greg
