G’aday everyone,
I saw this small bird this morning at Long Reef Golf Course this morning. I wasn’t too sure what it was when I saw it in the field. I thought it might have been some unusual grassbird, but that didn’t seem quite right. The underside and head reminded a bit of a Reed-warbler, but those upper feathers didn’t seem right either for it to be a Reed-warbler.
Now that I’ve gotten home and had a chance to look it up in Morcombe’s, it looks very similar to a female Brown Songlark. But I’ve only ever seen a male Brown Songlark, and that was a few years ago, so I’m would love to get the opinion of others as to what they think this bird might be.

Hi Mark, It’s a grassbird, not that familiar with Tawny (are you in range for them?), so I’ll leave the specific ID to someone more confident Cheers,John
