Hi folks. Earlier this year in June, there were a number of emails receiving 
comment about Fernwren in the Mossman Gorge area. Today, we were lucky to find 
two Fernwren there on the longer rainforest walk. The male was very obliging - 
giving us sustained views - and seemed to be following an Orange-footed 
Scrubfowl - the OFS was obviously digging deeper and the FW, while also doing 
his scratching, didn't need to work as hard!!!?  According to Google, this 
Gorge is approx. 96 metres above sea-level - way below the accepted altitude 
for this bird. Other birds of note were Yellow-throated Scrubwren, Grey-headed 
Robin, lots of Spectacled Monarchs and female Victoria's Riflebirds at least 
(others were heard).
Cheers
