Two rare bird species observed in one morning!

A sighting from Tim: 
 
Last Sunday morning (21 August), while walking through a PHBG member's property at the northern end of the Bull Creek Range, a bird similar in size to a blackbird caught our attention, only 5 metres from the edge of the track where we were standing.  We recognised it as a Scaly Thrush (also known as a Bassian or White's Thrush).  This species is rarely seen nowadays in the Mt Lofty Ranges due to declining habitat.  It is also a very secretive bird, preferring dense cover. The plumage has striking black scaling or mottling on a pale background – see linked video and image:

And at the same location and time, we were lucky enough to hear and see a pair of Peregrine Falcons – which didn't seem to concern the Scaly Thrush - in the tops of some tall pines.
