Valuable record, good to know they are on the western side of the Murrumbidgee - that land is under threat of future urban development if certain interests get their way.

Hi Matthew. How are you going with the proposed suburb of Thomson. Is it still a threat?

Hi Michael, I haven't heard anything about Thompson for quite awhile now, so hopefully it has been scrapped, but somehow I doubt that it will go away forever. Quite the same for urban expansion on the western side of the Murrumbidgee, which just looking at Google Maps looks like excellent open grassy woodland, which we know contains Brown Treecreepers and probably the other suite of woodland birds. I would like to get into that land and do many more surveys to find out what exists, but I doubt the landowners would be open to that idea.

John Hurrell has much better photos of the Brown Treecreeper in the same area. https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Sightings/4263581 and on Canberra Wildlife Photography.
Would be nice if they saw what has happened with the land development and decline of endangered species, but the powers to be don't seem to learn.

Hi Matthew Thomson was originally brought up prior to the last local election. With another one coming up soon I was expecting it might be raised again. So far so good. I agree about getting more data on the woodlands west of the river. I don't know if it is possible but Michael M would know.
