Malagasy Brush-Warbler
Nesillas typica
Medium-sized brown bird with a long, spiky tail. Found in a wide variety of moist and woody habitats, including rainforest, wet scrub, plantations, and gardens. Absent or very local in much of west and southwest Madagascar. Skulks in thick undergrowth. Incessantly given call is a Geiger counter-like ticking. Darker brown than Subdesert Brush-Warbler, with a lower-pitched call and little overlap in range. Similar to Madagascar Swamp-Warbler, but has less distinct breast streaking and white eyebrow, and is generally found in scrub rather than marsh.

Tasmanian Boobook
Ninox leucopsis
Small brownish owl with dark ‘glasses’ surrounding eyes. Fairly common in a wide variety of habitats on Tasmania. Similar to Southern Boobook, and range overlaps in southern Victoria during the winter; Tasmanian Boobook is smaller, darker, and has more extensive spotting and a different voice. Call is a familiar ‘boo-book’ with the second note lower pitched than the first, higher-pitched and smoother than Southern Boobook.
Long-billed Thrush
Zoothera monticola
Uncommon large gray-brown thrush with an exceptionally long bill. Note slaty gray back, dark brown head, and mottled pale underparts. Found in moist, wet hilly and montane forests with dense shading vegetation; favors streamsides. Sings a phrase of two or three plaintive whistles, usually at dusk or dawn.
African Grass-Owl
Tyto capensis
Long-winged owl with a dark back, pale underparts, and a pale, heart-shaped face. The central tail feathers are dark brown, and the outer ones pale. In flight, shows a buff mark at the front of the wing. Generally scarce and localized; found in marsh, grassland, and heath. Calls include a short, rough scream and low, creaking notes. Similar to Barn Owl in shape and size but shows a much darker back that contrasts with the pale underparts. Can be confused with Marsh Owl but shows a pale face, paler underparts, and less barring on the wings and tail in flight.
