White-fronted Chat

Hi,

New to the forum. This chat was photographed in December 2010.

Hoping I have the size suitable.

Hi Geecee and welcome to the forum,. The Chat is beautiful but if you can master the live posting process so we can see it then it makes for a more interesting forum ...just a thought anyway :')

Good stuff, you will find the best size on this forum currently is to make it 500 on the longest edge.
Whereabouts are you ?

Welcome GeeCee :)

Lovely photo - I love white-fronted chats. I got to monitor the last few birds left at sydney olympic park back a couple of years ago (one of only 2 pops left in Sydney). Only 4 males left at SOP now so the population is doomed there.

Holly, would it be possible to introduce more WFC into Homebush perhaps from captive bred? If there are captive bred birds?

Not sure Akos. The population is very isolated - there is no way that the population would be connected to the other one in Sydney (over Botany Bay way) so a very high number would need to be introduced to make the population viable.
We also don't know why the population has declined (though think it is foxes and raptors).

What a beautiful bird. Sad to know there aren't many of them.

Hi All,

From Tasmania birdie. Trying to get the size right.

Shy birds but plenty of them in Tasmania Birdgirl2009.
