Hi, Greg.
Both Nutmegs and Chestnut-breasteds occur at Pitt Town NR, sometimes in big numbers - 100 or so of each species.

Regards,

Hi Carl,

I don't know how well you know these species but could the 'Nutmegs' have been juvenile Chestnut-breasted Mannikins? My experience with the two species is that they usually occur separately, in slightly different habitats. Others may be able to comment on their occurrence at Pitt Town.


Regards

Greg Clancy
