Writer firstly describes a small oval nest with a small whole in the side and about 6 feet from the ground generally in T-tree. The bird is described as grey backed with yellowy gleen, a dirt white breast, a distinct black line
from base of beak to back of head, the size of a Robin and shape of the English Whitethroat. A second nest is described as incomplete but built 3 feet from ground in Tar bush. The birds are tiny, dark brown in colour and like the English Wren in size, shape and colouring. Writer has been resident in WA for 16 years, offers a Mr Ciawerar, Perth solicitor as referee and contributes to the Sydney Mail under pseudonym Gerald Barker.
