Just loved getting this little bird and drove 150km with fingers (and toes crossed) from West Wyalong hoping to find them in Chat Alley (near Euabalong, NSW). I did not see a female but there were other small birds around like White-fronted Chats. Sorry no info sheet available for Orange Chat.
Wow!
Thanks, Woko, I was stoked! Have looked for them before without success and this one came closer after I sat on the ground. Great light and before the heat of a very hot day. A Chat in Chat Alley with Sue Chat seems appropriate.
Absolutely Stunning Sue. They are a striking bird amongst that plain foilage
Fantastic, what a cool bird.
Thanks guys, but I think your photo of an Orange Chat rivals this one, Dev. Really surprised that we have any on the year's list, let alone two sightings!
Thanks Sue. I put mine in my calendar that I did up this year called Australian Outback Birds. Yes it is exciting to see not one but 2 of them this year
Beautiful Sue, worth the effort.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks, Dale. Something I have wanted to photograph well for a while so very happy. Second trip to this spot as very windy first time and it was a no-show. I have only seen them once before, in the distance at Bowra Wildlife Conservancy in Queensland. They are smaller than a sparrow so easily missed.
