 This unobtrusive but charming little bird inhabiting open woodland
is an uncommon visitor to Canberra gardens. It has been recorded each
year of the survey, though from few sites, generally on the edge of suburbs
next to woodland reserves. Many of the records are regular observations
of small numbers over several months. Seasonal variation is not easy
to assess, as changes are minor and insufficiently recorded. However,
records from all years show a peak in June and a trough in August.
Speckled Warblers are ground-nesting birds, but their nests
are not as well protected as those of the White-browed Scrubwren, possibly
making them more vulnerable to predation. There are only two breeding
records: nest building at Hughes in December 1988, and a dependent young
at Farrer in November 1994. R=99. BR=70
