观察细节
This species was most vocal and active just before dusk and again 15 minutes after first lite. Birds moved swiftly mouse-like on the ground with cocked tails . Their high pitched calls were conspicuous . These birds favoured stands of dense bluebush and blackbush vegetation with tufts of dry grass as ground cover and areas of bare red earth. These birds were absent from similar bluebush sites that were devoid of grass tufts and ground cover due to livestock overgrazing . Photographs and song recordings obtained. 8 birds in the transect we surveyed and several more heard further away out of the surveyed grid. During this entire survey I did not use playback , I rather preferred the challenge of locating birds by identifying the calls and then waiting patiently until I caught a glimpse of the species.
