The scrubwrens I see, or used to see, in Docklands in Melbourne seemed to be
all living in one small bush. They used a small nearby reed bed too, but seemed
based in that bush. The bush died, now they're gone.

At our place (rural residential, near to Canberra) the birds are regularly seen
in our garden. They seem quite happy flying 4-5m between shrubs and under our
deck. The loss of a lot of shrubs in a bush fire doesn't seem to have affected
them much.

That's very interesting, that they successfully ran the gauntlet of bully

I have noticed that the scrubwrens dont seem to venture out of their scrub
much. We do a monthly bird survey in the streets near me and we never pick
them up, unlike fairywrens and pardalotes. We see them in another garden
across the Greenway / rail corridor to me, and adjacent to a scrubby
section, so they probably fly across the rail line - about 8-10 metres.
