CommentWe thank BLP member Bill Betts for recommending a visit to Kirkalocka Station where our hosts Jarrod and Blair gave us excellent birding advice. We found a family of Western Q-t with a pair of adult birds catching insects to feed two juveniles. The female (shown here) has essentially the same plumage as the Chestnut Q-t of eastern Australia. Western Q-t is recognized as a separate species by IOC and most other authorities.
