Red-browed Finch

(Neochmia temporalis)

Sightings

Red-browed Finches ("temporalis") visited us infrequently where we lived until 2006, 20 km south of Narrabri, New South Wales, coming across the south-eastern range. We saw them only a few times in our garden; however, they are always present at our former neighbour's property.

In September 2008 seen 30 km east of Narrabri, on the fringes of Mt. Kaputar National Park.

Also sighted on a trip to the east of the dividing range, in the area from Armidale to Dorrigo, New South Wales.
