Welcome to Wednesday with Margie Tiller

I thought that these photos I took 9 years ago of where we visited this year may be of interest to those who saw the same country this year in very dry conditions. The top left photo is the campground where we pulled off the track & had lunch after tramping around seeking Chestnut-breasted Whiteface. Despite the healthy vegetation we didn’t see any then either!

However we did see Red-backed Kingfisher, which we were told by John Ragless has nested in the disused copper mine. Other birds seen were a large flock of Budgerigar, which were sharing a tree with a few Black-faced Woodswallow. We also saw a Little Eagle flying overhead.

The creek bed then was lined with healthy looking green trees & shrubs, including some red-flowered Eremophila. 
The old rusty car was there of course & Malcolm thought that it was probably a Hudson Terraplane!
