| | Chestnut-breasted Whiteface William Hutchinson Memorial, Coober Pedy |
2 birds at the "usual" site, where I understand they haven't been recorded for a while? My first. Despite photos etc I wasn't prepared for that vivid fox-red chestband. Beautiful little things. |

| | Eastern spinebill 43 Cooinda Ave redwood park |
Have seen a female eastern spinebill in our suburban garden in the last few weeks.
Last seen was a male bird 2 years ago .
Prior to that I had not seen it for years. (Moderator’s note: occasionally seen in Adelaide suburbs in autumn). |
