Hi all
Hopefully I can talk for the rest of the Eastern Bristlebird
Recovery Team Northern Group and thank Greg Roberts for bringing this to our
attention.
Unfortunately the northern population of eastern bristlebird is verysmall and
the and its survival in northern NSW southeastern QLD is influenced by
several threatening process. The northern population has shown some decline in
the last 10 years, the extent of this this decline is evident in the new Action
Plan for Australian Birds and soon when the new National Recovery Plan for
the Eastern Bristlebird become available on-line from the Federal Government.
Although no site information for the bristlebird has been provided in any of
the emails as yet, this information was offered to anyone that asks. Please,
for anyone with this information please consider the conservation
of these critically Endangered Species first, before providing this information
to anyone.
Thankyou
David Stewart
Northern Eastern Bristlebird Recovery Team

You will see in Nick's post that he offers to share site information.
My point is that if that happens and the site information becomes widely
known, the widespread use of playback is pretty well inevitable.

Having seen this from Greg, and then Bob Inglis' subsequent message I have
re-read Nick's post and cannot see any mention of call-playback being used
and nothing but the most generic of descriptions used for sites visited.
Am I missing something?

I saw your post and was a little alarmed by your offer to share site
information in the Border Ranges.
I have had numerous requests for details of sites for scrubbird and
bristlebird in this area and I don't hesitate to politely decline. Many
years ago I found several scrubbird territories at Gloucester Tops and
happily shared that information. These days those poor birds are harassed
endlessly by playback.
The bristlebird is especially sensitive with only a handful remaining in
northern NSW. Frankly, none of us should be using playback to see the
species in the critically endangered south-east Queensland-north-east NSW
population, let alone sharing site information.
People generally are understanding about these matters.
