It was the plantations in the upper Ovens Valley arount Bright that I was
thinking of when I made the same comment earlier. As others have said, it's
likely to be the density of the plantations that makes them unsuitable for bird
life. I once read a comment here that Spotted Quail-thrush can be found in the
thinned plantations, but I've never managed to see any.
