A question for those birdos who have visited north west Victoria,
especially the area north of Nhill / Little Desert.
I'm keen on people's sightings of Grey-crowned Babbler for this area.
The Atlas of Victorian Wildlife data suggests that GcBs are now very
rarely observed in this area of Victoria. I have been advised of a
possible sighting of the species from 2005 near Yanac which is north west
of Nhill. The sighting seems odd to me due to the habitat but it's
possible there is a relict population hanging on.
Would anyone who has visited this area advise me of their thoughts re the
distribution of the species in mallee scrub / woodland type environments?
cheers, Martin
