A rare sighting this morning while having breakfast. Species number 115 for Wallaby Gully...a Bassian Thrush. Very well camouflaged, it runs in short bursts and then remains very still for a few seconds which provides an excellent opportunity for a photo. The books say that these birds require lots of leaf litter for foraging. Leaf litter although a fire hazard is extremely important for much of our fauna as it contains a huge amount of insect life.
