Hey All,
Just came back from a few days in the snowies. A few hours driving around
with a few stops for birdwatching yielded a few birds here and there.
Though we couldn't find the elusive Olive Whistlers, any suggestions of
areas with some suitable habitat for next time? We were thinking along the
Thredbo river, but Sunday's weather prevented any forays into that area.
The list below is mainly from between Guthega and Jindabyne.
Inland thornbills were all around Guthega in the scrubby patches where no
live gums were present. After much discussion, identity was decided by
listening to the calls off tape. Are they known to be in that area? All
references I found were to Brown Thornbills.. although Slater clumps them in
with the Browns.
Cheers,
Damien
