The Spotted Quail-thrush would have to be one of the shyest and least
urbanised species around, so I was fairly surprised to see one
yesterday on a lawn footpath in a most suburban part of Blackheath.
As I drove past it flew up onto a fence where it perched momentarily
before disappearing into someone's backyard.
They are regularly seen at the nearby Rhododendron Garden, and I've
certainly seen them around houses in semi-rural situations, but never
in such an urban setting before. But then this is the Blue Mountains,
where Flame Robins, Beautiful Firetails, Powerful Owls and Lewin's
Rails can be garden birds!
