Hi Elizabeth, good that you are seeing the BTNHs. They are not all that
unusual in SA although they do seem to move around quite a bit.
Sometimes they prove hard to find for a while, then when they do turn up
they are often in flock proportions, and it can be almost anywhere.
Tony, Adelaide.

Hi all,
I'm currently in South Australia and have been for the last eight weeks
or so. I've noticed the Birdline entries about Black-tailed Native-hens
in Victoria and over the last couple of weekends, at least, I've seen
Black-tailed Native-hens at almost every place I've been to, especially
if there is water nearby. They are usually a rarity at home in Victoria
and worth noting.
Is this an unusual year for them in South Australia as well or are they
usually more common than Purple Swamphens in SA?
I've seen BTNHs on Plumbago Station (north of Mannahill, Thompson's
Beach, Clare, Rock's Reserve near Balaklava and at a small dam between
Riverton and Marrabel. I almost drove over one and saw a few that had
been skittled. Just wondering? Elizabeth Shaw (Usually from)Phillip
