They might just look like another of those ‘LBJs’ (Little Brown Jobs) as they dart through the undergrowth. However, White-browed Scrub-wrens deserve closer observation – they are handsome and striking birds.
The habitat along the Loddon River is perfect for them – they prefer patches of dense shrubs to forage and nest in. There distinctive scolding calls can be heard among a chorus of other river denizens – Clamorous Reed-warblers and Little Grassbirds are active and vocal in the reed-beds at the moment.

Love your photos and stories, fabulous! Makes me want to get out and spend more time with the birds. Top photo of the White browed scrubbie, what a character he is!
