Zoothera lunulata (Bassian Thrush)
Uncommon, breeding resident/altitudinal migrant.
The Bassian Thrush is a scalloped brown and white version of the garden Blackbird. Like its European cousin it has a beautiful song which is echoing much less in Namadji’s mountains following the fires. It likes dense vegetation where it scratches amongst the leaf litter for insect morsels. It may be doing it tough post-fire and we would like to know where it is still hanging out. Please post image or song recordings on Canberra Nature Map.
There are concerns that the Bassian Thrush may have faired poorly in the past fires. Previously, it was the dominant species calling pre-dawn in Songmeter sites in Ribbon-gum forest. Preliminary analysis of the Songmeter recordings suggests that it’s pretty much disappeared from burnt areas.
Zoothera lunulata is listed in the following regions:
Canberra & Southern Tablelands | Southern Highlands | Albury, Wodonga | South Coast | Greater Sydney | Gippsland | Greater Brisbane | Tasmania
