Birds of the Outback

I stumbled across this Rock Wallaby hiding from me as I was climbing a ravine in search of the elusive Dusky Grasswrens.

Although the wildlife isn't particularly prolific at this time of year, we managed to see a load of nice stuff. No reptiles unfortunately except for a single skink which was about an inch long! Too cold I guess. On the marsupial front we saw Red Kangaroos, Euros and Rock Wallabies and the birds were lovely as always.....

This Yellow-throated Miner had learned to visit this Alice Springs cafe, pull out packets of sugar and open them up for an easy meal.

A pair of beautiful Zebra Finches.....

.....and sticking with the pet shop theme, Cockatiels.
