Another Western Gerygone
it was great to see a Western Gerygone on Saturday (30/6) morning at Pat & Dave Cleary's property on Amos Rd, Withcott. Even managed a couple of bad photos including a flight shot showing the diagnostic white base in the tail, a difficult feature to pick up in the field.
I hadn't seen one locally for a number of years — probably not since they cleared the acacia scrub opposite the Helidon Dip (Airforce Rd) where I used to see them each winter (once we realised this species was an uncommon but annual winter visitor to our area).
Cheers
