Red Centre Bird Festival Twitchathon precursor

This week in Alice Springs, the Red Centre Bird Festival is happening. This coming weekend sees two big events, the Twitchathon and the Night Parrot Talk by John Young with new discoveries so should be awesome.

I have been checking out the local spots in preparation for the Twitchathon. Some amazing sights around at the moment. Here is a sample from the last few days:

Red-capped Robin and Splendid Fairy-wren

Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike 

Black-shouldered Kite

Mistletoebird

Black-faced Woodswallow

Budgerigar flock

Brown Falcon with snake

Red-browed Pardalote

White-browed Babbler

    Great shots Richard, especially the first one. Looks like the fairy-wren is hoping for a share of the robins' catch! Good luck with the twitchathon.

      Thanks John. My son Moses and I managed to outnumber all-comers and win the Twitchathon. Helped having young eyes to spot the elusive birds, White-browed Treecreeper was the standout.
