Field Notes
Notes:
This was a hard-won series of shots! Logrunners favour dark, leafy forest floors in densely-canopied areas where they forage in the leaf litter for food. They also move quite quickly; as a result, it is incredibly difficult to get a decent picture of one! This is a male - I saw it along the Moran's Falls track in Lamington National Park. The females have a rusty-coloured breast. I did see a female the previous day but the shots were so poor I couldn't even identify the bird from the picture... it wasn't until I ID'd THIS series that I worked out what the other one was!
