Driving back from Haasts Bluff to Alice Springs presented a variety of weird and wonderful experiences with birds. I always love looking through the lens and seeing something unusual happen, and this male Variegated Fairy-wren certainly struck a few interesting poses as well as some close-up displays:
Variegated Fairy-wren
Male
"I'm sure it is down there somewhere!"
Female - gathering food
This Crested Bellbird showed the Variegated Fairy-wren what a crest should look like
This Budgerigar got in on the act with some "moustache-like" thing happening
This Australian Hobby thought he was an Australian Hoppy
This Australian Pelican decided to float by
And this Red-capped Robin just sat there being cute
And finally, probably my favourite tree and a lovely scene on the way home on Larapinta Drive
