Shrike-Tit and Field Wren Follow Up

All,   I believe I responded directly to those that gave me tips on finding my targets in WA, but to share with the rest of the list, it was a successful trip.   I have now banked three “sub-species” when Clements gets around to splitting them.   All were found in the Stirling Ranges, 4.5 hours SE of Perth   1. A nesting pair of Western Shrike-Tit was found in the northern block of the Stirling Ranges Retreat grounds…good recordings were made with a few snaps.  In addition to some fantastic Wildflowers   2. A number of spots were tried for Western Fieldwren, but the only one I found was at Camel Lake on the north Side of the Ranges…good recordings and a few nice close photos   3. Western Whipbird was seen a couple of times without difficulty on the road up to Mt Trio…Also got some nice recordings of these birds.     However the best “bird” was a Honey Possum, seen and photographed on the road while out spotlighting.  Lots of other good local species, some nice frogs…a good weekend to be sure.   Thanks again!
