Maude |
| 3 foraging in and out of roadside vegetation on Powerline Rd about 100m west of intersection with Florieton Rd. The landscape structure at this spot - open shrubland with scattered medium and tall bushes - resembles the habitats where I have observed the species much further north. Full ID on eBird checklist S149740802. (Moderator’s note: Certainly a southerly report, and there are a couple of records a few kilometres further south near Mount Mary). eBird checklist |
