Hobby chick ringing season is well under way. 3 chicks approx 18 days old on an urban fringe heathland site Dorset. Also a wood pigeon nest 5 feet from the hobbies. WP purposefully nest close to hobbies to gain extra protection as hobbies defend the nest area from other predators.

The Tasmanian Scrubwren is confined to mainland Tasmania, King Island and other offshore islands in the Tasmanian region.

The only part of the state this Tasmanian endemic doesn’t occur is Flinders Island and the Furneaux Group.
