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.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
