Not sure if this sighting is a ‘sought-after’ one, but it seems there is a resident population of Eurasian Tree Sparrow in and around the general store in Anakie on edge of Brisbane Ranges NP, VIC: sighted Sunday afternoon.

That is very sad news, thanks for the advice John. I’ve spend some fantastic times with him at the WTP and as others have said, he was so helpful – and patient – in helping birders such as me who are still on the learning curve. Wendy McWilliams ===============================

I’ve just done ‘the steps’ in the Dandenong Ranges (Ferntree Gully, Victoria) and in the picnic/bbq area an adult Crimson Rosella was holding a chicken bone (thigh I think) in one claw and nibbling bits of chicken off it. Two juveniles were watching, so no doubt it will be a learned practice before too long. Extraordinary! Wendy McWilliams, Glen Waverley
