Is there anything on the recent status of Grey Shrike-thrush in the Top End? I’ve rarely heard, or seen them in the last few years.

One response to “Grey Shrike-thrush”
This is the entry from Annotated List of the Birds of the Top End (Thompson and Goodfellow). Hence my concern. Range and status: moderately common in open forest and wooded gullies across the region but rather local in the northern coastal areas and absent from Darwin. Storr includes Melville lsland and Groote Eylandt, with breeding from October to February. Atlas has record from Groote Eylandt but not Gove area. Records: Occurs near Darwin on road to Middle Arm, at Manton Dam, at Litchfield Park. Rather sparsely distributed in the VRD area, 1976-77. Quite common in Kakadu around Koongarra, Nourlangie Rock and Nawulandja as well as in open forest along the Kakadu Highway. Carrying material near Cooinda and near Nourlangie Rock, November 1985. Recorded near Borroloola, October 1989. Recorded at Mt Todd, 1989-90. Records from Jasper Gorge, Keep River NP and VRD area but seems to be rather scarce in the western sector.
