once, about three years ago in the Logan Street car park at Karawatha Forest Park on Brisbanes southside I found a single Speckled Warbler. For me, the only sighting Ive had of a Speckled Warbler in the Brisbane metro area.

Hi all,
In over 20 years of banding near Mt Cotton, just south of Brisbane, I have trapped only 4 speckled warblers and none since 1992. Have banded large numbers out at Mitchell west of Roma where they still seem to be common.
Cheers

Hi
I'd agree with Roy's observations. Rare to localised I would think. I
have seen birds - usually pairs - at Trotter Reserve in the Belmont area
and at the Quarry reserve on Wynnum rd. At both locations on more than
one occasion, but not every time I have been there! Seem to appear more
often in winter - whether they are more discreet in summer or I visit
less (which I do) or whether there is a certain altitudinal migration
I'm not sure, but they certainly aren't common and, given the current
habitat situation,unlikely to increase dramatically in the future.

Cheers

John,

I do consider Speckled Warblers quite rare around Brisbane and they are seldom recorded in the Brisbane City area. I am out and about birding
quite a bit and see them around Samford/Dayboro and in the Lockyer
Valley. They are also around Jimboomba and Beaudesert. They are quite common further west (west of Great Divide) in suitable woodland habitat. They have struggled with the prolonged drought and were quite difficult
to find for much of last year.  Birdata shows a few records reported
around southern bayside suburbs and south western suburbs not far from
Beaudesert Road generally.  They can be quite common locally in areas
where suitable woodland habitat still exists. Like quite a few species of woodland dependant birds, they suffer from urban development and land
clearing generally.  Overgrazing does not help either.

Cheers

Roy
