While on this subject ... a couple of days ago there was a singing male Song
Thrush in a garden near us in Clifton Hill (5 km from Melbourne GPO). This
was the first I've seen or heard in the district for about 4 years, though
there may be a relict population. They were common until the late 1990s but
the drought and hot weather seems to have driven them out. The recent heavy
rain and cooler conditions in Melbourne (lots of snails) would be to their
liking.

Songthrushes breed on Lord Howe Island as well as Norfolk and in Victoria.
