A week ago a very good young visiting birder from the US fairly confidently
identified a Brown Gerygone in the Dandenongs from both good views and song
(unfortunately his ID photo is not good enough to assist in confirming his
sighting).

My understanding from range maps, atlases and personal experience is that
the western limit of this species' range in Victoria is well east of
Melbourne.

Can anyone comment on the likelihood of this sighting, please.
