This little Brown Falcon was puffed up in the morning sun trying to hold some warm in his feathers.
Occasionally dropping down to chase lizards.
Don't be fooled by this cute face.. this Donkey bites! But he is one hell of a character.
I finally got some photos of the Old Karmona cattle yards. Some serious man hours would have gone into all this hand milled timber.
This lone Beefwood on a vast Gibber Plain caught my eye one morning.
Some Zebra finches nested in a hole in the roof..
I enjoyed watching this big adult Wedgey stand its ground as a dingo strolled past it at less than a couple of meters when leaving a carcass.
The adult then promptly flew over to the carcass and kicked two younger birds off.
July saw the twitch of the year turn up in south-east Qld. Of all places in turned up in the north Brisbane suburb of North lakes. Although I would definitely not class myself as a 'twitcher', given the neighbouring location and the opportunity to see:
The first ever confirmed Yellow Bittern in Australia..
The bird was residing in a small parkland lagoon with an Australian Little Bittern. I had not seen a Little Bittern before so I was able to see two new species. This quickly became three, when fellow twitcher for a day Andy, and I spotted a Spotless Crake.
July became a good month for firsts, which are becoming harder and harder to come across, for when I returned to work I discovered some Southern Whiteface's. These birds are tiny.
The most vibrant natural colour you will find in these parts, is on these guys.
Chestnut-rumped Thornbill with its distinctive off-white eye
Roadside cleaner..
