Thanks everyone for their input! We were looking for Little Eagle at the western treatment plant for sometime so it was a great surprise to find it practically in our own backyard!

Happy birding, Jason

I gave lots away for free a few months back, but these are in a different league! I . . . → Read More: HANZAB volumes, nocturnal birds folio &others for sale

It was hovering high in the sky for a few minutes, and then flew away . . . → Read More: little eagle: yarra bend park

Scrubwrens

Some interesting discussion, but Graeme and others I think it is rather premature to be drawing the boundary delimiting Spotted Scrubwren from White-browed. In particular, note that Kangaroo Island’s ashbyi aligned with eastern birds on mitochondrial DNA in the recent Norman et al paper, though the authors did recommend leaving ashbyi in maculatus (on morphological . . . → Read More: Scrubwrens
