haha - I'm aware of that Mike, I've tried to do it before
OK, so you're saying a less bulky Satin-bowerbird-type-bird? Can you give me a bird that has a similar flight/behaviour to the one you saw?
The photos show butterflies that I have never seen. However, looking in Michael F. Braby's The Complete Field Guide to Butterflies of Australia the first photo looks a lot like the illustration of a female wonder brown. The two differences with the illustration is that it shows a dark brown colour, not black, and the band on the forewing is white, not that striking yellow colour. Maybe you should put your butterfly queries in the butterfly etc forum (if you haven't already)? Good luck for a reply! Allen
Guys, are you saying that Barren Grounds are not do-able at dusk because of access, or is it a case of last one out shuts the gate? I was thinking of doing a dusk visit torwards end of next week.
Also wondering about this. Is this a new thing? When we went a couple of years ago we had no trouble sleeping over in our van in the car park.
I agree with female King Parrot, although that black line is a little odd.
I'm far from expert, but there must be a pretty good chance that your snake is a Red-bellied Black.
...Incidentally, I'd appreciate comment on the blurred bird (taken in poor light)pic that accompanied the snake & butterfly pics.
White-browed Scrubwren (ssp frontalis?) for me
