My Dad believes he saw them some time ago (can’t recall where but might have been Bronzewing FFR, where a captive breeding population was released there about 10 years ago,) or Annuello. He commented on the difference in behaviour i.e. they were much quieter and shyer than YT miners. —–Original Message—– Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2013 2:46 AM Cc: Phil Hansbro ; birding-aus@vicnet.net.au Hi Phil et al., This ID chart is quite useful to narrow down a phenotypically pure BEM from a hybrid: http://www.gluepot.org/bem.pdf Cheers, Nikolas —————- Nikolas Haass nhaass@yahoo.com Brisbane, QLD ________________________________ Cc: Phil Hansbro < philip.hansbro@newcastle.edu.au>; “birding-aus@vicnet.net.au” < birding-aus@vicnet.net.au> Sent: Friday, November 15, 2013 6:10 AM I rangered there for two months in 2011 and saw them on 6 occasions. They move around there territories in flocks and you just have to be lucky to be in the right place when the flock crosses the track. Like most birdwatching its all a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

A day would be long enough if you got them on the first day.

But be aware that there are lots of Black-eared/Yellow-throated hybrids – to varying degrees – there at Gluepot as well. We went with Peter Waanders, who was able to point out why some were not really “good” Black-eared candidates, but some he found were. And yes, we went for a day. Cheers, John Tongue Ulverstone, Tas.

I stayed there for 3-4 days and managed to see several on day 2 Phil. However, that was pure luck and the record of sightings in the visitor centre indicated that they were rarely seen. Those I saw came for a morning drink and bathe at one of the hides and I understand that they don’t often do that. Being in the hide before dawn would be your best bet but the odds would be unfavourable.
