ADVERT- Sandhill Grasswren Expeditions

Hi All, Sorry to post another ad so soon but I’m pretty excited about this one. I have an accessible location for the new Sandhill Grasswren Amytornis oweni (formerly Striated Grasswren subspecies oweni) and am running some three-day accommodated trips departing Alice Springs for birders keen to twitch them. More information is on my website: http://www.birdingandwildlife.com/sandhill-grasswren/ For background on the species authority for this bird read the original 2013 paper by Les Christidis et al. at: http://publications.rzsnsw.org.au/doi/10.7882/AZ.2013.004 I’m aware that as the IOC has so far refused to accept the split but this is probably a temporary situation- in my experience the four species formerly called Striated Grasswren are distinct in habitat, plumage and voice- not to mention distribution. But don’t just take my word for it- come and see for yourself!
