Thornbills

[Duncan Fraser <>]

Up here in the Maffra area of Gippsland, Yellow Thornbills are a common 
bird, I have them working through my garden every day, and I see them in 
all the woodland and riverside habitat that I visit. When the second 
Atlas project started, Browns were a common Thornbill in my surveys, but 
since then they seem to have faded away in many of my birding spots, to 
the point where they have come to be, for me, an uncommon sighting. One 
pair persists in my garden and I get quite a bit of pleasure watching 
them bathe in the shallow birdbath. Duncan Fraser, Maffra, Vic.
