White-fronted Chats

Changes in the composition of vegetation species can & usually do impact the animal species present. 

Changes in the composition of vegetation species can & usually do impact the animal species present in an environment. After about 10 years of revegetation work Ms Woko & I found we were losing a number of open, grassland species from around our property such as the Brown Songlark, Black-shouldered Kite, Nankeen Kestrel & White-fronted Chat.

The White-fronted Chat I haven't seen for about 30 years so it was with considerable interest today that I saw a pair, male & female, in a weedy, open paddock adjacent to our property.

Interesting comment, Woko. Perhaps the paddock next door will give you the best of both worlds when taken with your property. A niche to be found for all.

Good point, Sue. It's interesting to note the number of species which use adjacent paddocks as well as the bushland on our place. Adelaide Rosellas, Red-rumped Parrots, Galahs, Little Corellas, Willie Wagtails, Yellow-rumped Thornbills, Crested Pigeons, Brown Falcons are all in the mix.
