Eastern Bristlebird RFI

Hi All,

Would someone be good enough to give me some rough directions where to look for Bristlebirds in the Boarder Ranges National Park? Eremea has has reference to Boarder lookout, where exactly is it?? Obviously, I’ve never been here. I’m aware their numbers are very low and sightings unlikely but I’m in the area. Thanks in advance and please reply directly.

    Hello all This will be my last response on this issue as neither I nor the Eastern Bristlebird Recovery Team wish to get in a argument about ethical birdwatching. You say only yourself, your wife and a two children will be only one visiting the bristlebird area. However, not long after your request, an email was posted on Birding-Aus asking for the information to be made public. We receive numerous similar requests for information relating to bristlebirds and our policy is not to provide location information.  Your request is just one of many and the cumulative impact of disturbance particularly during the breeding cannot be underestimated. These birds are disturbance sensitive. This population of bristlebirds is on the edge of extinction and considerable resources are being directed towards preventing the last few birds being lost for ever. The Recovery Team is trying to manage threatening processes and this includes disturbance by people and particularly the unmanaged use of call playback.

    Hi David,

    Appreciate the concern and good on you for the Recovery Teams efforts. Any details received, or sightings, albeit unlikely, will not be made public. I will still be visiting the area, and also assure you the disturbance of my wife, one and three year old children and I will be far less than the bush fires, land clearing and cats.

    Cheers Tim

    Hi all, Please don’t necessarily “reply directly”, as others (including myself) are also interested in the replies. :)
