General Species Information:
Found in the Murray Mallee SA and possibly elsewhere
This was part of a massive series of shubs making a hedge surround a lagoon on the banks of the river. Many birds were using it as shelter. Unfortunately we only had our long lens and couldn't get a sense of the whole with it. Hopefully we'll return and get better habitat shots.

This species is classed as

LC (Least Concern)

in the Murray Mallee, SA, by DENR (Regional Species Status Assessments, July 2010)
