G'day
I was out with my camera (but not my bins) this morning on a property near the NSW border. I came across a chest high nest with a pair of freshly hatched chicks. I moved away and photographed the parent when it returned shortly after. At the time it looked like a thornbill/gerygone. However, the nest looked somewhat large for those species, and the construction doesn't match the handbook descriptions.
Basically it has a dark eye, white underparts a brownish bill and not obvious rump colouring.
Regards, Laurie.
