Sun 24 Jun	Brown Gerygone, Rose Robin ANBG There was a single Brown Gerygone at the gardens this morning. We saw it on the edge of the main rainforest gully, just up from the Brittle Gum Lawn. I picked it up on call, and everyone on this morning's COG outing had a look at it. We also saw the male Rose Robin over near the CSIRO gate, where other folks had seen it earlier this week. We also saw a female about 100m back towards the visitors centre from the male. No sign of the Red-browed Treecreeper, although we couldn't recall exactly where others had seen it. Anthony Overs
