Thanks Peter, we do get the occasional WT Gerygone here in SA, always
well worth noting.
We had one closer to Adelaide in the Belair National Park a couple of
years ago. Hope you put in an Atlas Report on it ? As you suggest, well
out of their normal range.

Subject: Gerygones in SA
I was helping undertake aerial duck surveys in Victoria, SA and NSW last
week, when we stopped for a brief time at Kingston SE, south of the
Coorong
in SA, an area I had never been to before. We were doing an article for
Stateline SA - not certain if it was shown, but I would have been the
one in
the back of the plane. While walking to the Big Rock Lobster for coffee,
I
heard a White-throated Gerygone calling. Seeing many of the other birds
around looked familiar to coastal NSW I didn't pay much attention.
However,
while organising my notes this evening, I see from both HANZAB and
Schodde
and Mason, that this is outside the normal range for this species. Not
certain how significant it is (it looks like tghey may be irregular in
the
area) but I thought it might be helpful for SA records. If anyone is
interested I can give further details.
Cheers,
Peter
