Female White-fronted Chat (Epthianura (Epthianura) albifrons)

Wamboin, NSW, Australia. We found a female White-fronted Chat down our back paddock a couple of weeks ago (a new species for us here), but despite a lot of searching, there was no sign of it again until today, when there were both a male and female there. They're eating caterpillars, and they kept returning to a grassy corner which is somewhat protected from grazing by myriad kangaroos. Hopefully they'll nest there - they build a grass and twigs cup nest deep in a tussock or low bush, so the location should be perfect.
