Earlier Rose Robin arrival
Michael's sighting would have to be one of the earliest on record. I checked my own diary and the earliest I've seen one in Toowoomba area is 16 April (1989). That was a female too, seen in Glen Lomond Park.
Has anyone ever recorded an earlier arrival date than 9 April?[/quote]

Rose Robin - Digger's Lookout, Mount Table Top
Folks,
Also saw Rose Robin last Sunday morning (09.04.06) in dry vine scrub, eastern face of Mount Table Top and, even more curiously, a single Restless Flycatcher here at that time as well, probably passing through this small remnant of atypical habitat from cleared lands below. My first record of Restless Flycatcher from Mount Table Top.
Apologies for this late posting, have been away in field at Duke's Plains near Isla Gorge. What a place. Birdlife amazing.
Regards,
Rod Hobson
