Hi Anthea,
BAYBOCA recorded White-throated Treecreeper on an outing to Banyule Flats on
25 August 2001, but we have not recorded it on three subsequent outings on 1
May 2004, 30 Mar 2008 and 25 June 2011.
Regards,
Tania

Subject: White-throated Tree-creeper at Banyule
Flats,Heidelberg, Vic.
I have been birding at Banyule Flats Reserve since 1975 and these days
I seldom see a new bird there.
This afternoon I was on the muddy riverside track close to the
junction with the Main Yarra Trail, on the riverbank east of the
Somerset Drive car-park. A bird was hopping up a dead wattle. It looked
and moved like a Tree-creeper - as it came into the sunlight at the
tree-top, I got the binoculars onto it and heavens, it WAS a
White-throated Tree-creeper!
Presumably a female, because I clearly saw the rufous tag on its
cheek. I could not see the rump (rufous in immature birds) as it ducked
behind the tree and flew off further downstream into thicker living
wattles. No calls were heard.
Just proves you never know with birds. As far as I know WTTCs have
not been recorded in Heidelberg before.
