Bright-capped Cisticola juvenile

Juvenile Bright-capped Cisticolas have been turning up during late summer in the NT for a few years. It's still a bit unclear whether these are breeding birds or are very early migrants from another breeding location (presumably fairly nearby). The complication basically is that there are still no cases where birds have been recorded through the summer - they all seem to disappear completely in April/May. If breeding occurs at these sites, either birds become extremely secretive during breeding or are being overlooked due to the lack of observer coverage. An interesting record for Po Toi.
