Mick You will see in Nick’s post that he offers to share site information. My point is that if that happens and the site information becomes widely known, the widespread use of playback is pretty well inevitable.

Am I missing something?

I have had numerous requests for details of sites for scrubbird and bristlebird in this area and I don’t hesitate to politely decline. Many years ago I found several scrubbird territories at Gloucester Tops and happily shared that information. These days those poor birds are harassed endlessly by playback. The bristlebird is especially sensitive with only a handful remaining in northern NSW. Frankly, none of us should be using playback to see the species in the critically endangered south-east Queensland-north-east NSW population, let alone sharing site information. People generally are understanding about these matters.
