Hi
Never been to Katanning so I can't offer much info about there, but here are
a couple around Perth.
Yellow-throated Miner: There's a flock around Kingsway sport centre in
Madeley in Perth's northern suburbs. They are also seen at Pinnaroo Valley
Memorial Park which is vaguely in the same area.
Little Grassbird: Many of the wetlands around Perth with reed beds are a
chance. The problem is actually getting a glimpse of them. The best site for
this is probably Mariners Cove boardwalk in Mandurah because they're found
in the low samphire so you can usually at least get a brief look when they
move. Its about an hour to an hour and a half south of Perth though so I'm
not sure how practical it is for you. I've seen them at Herdsman Lake but
they're not easy to see. A pretty tough bird to get in a short time.
If you need more detailed info on any of the sites I've suggested, let me
know. Otherwise, good luck
Cheers
John Graff

Subject: [Birding-Aus] WA subspecies
Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 17:39:38 +1000
I am heading over to WA for a Malleefowl Forum next week and would like to
track down a couple of subspecies I missed on my previous trip to WA. I
will have little time in Perth (going straight to Katanning) when I arrive
but may have a little time before flying out. Any sites around Katanning
and near the airport would be helpful.
The two I am after are:
race obscura of the Yellow-throated Miner. The following sites have been
gleaned from the archives and Frank O'Connors site:
Stirling Ranges, Armadale Golf Course, Pinjarra, Alemup, Mt. Barker
race thomasi of the Little Grassbird (hopefully should be calling). Once
again sites I have are:
Bayswater Bird Sanctuary, Herdsman Lake, Lake Monger, Lake Cooloongup, Port
Gregory
Any info on which of these sites might be suitable or any othe potential
sites would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter
