In with the lilies

In with the lilies (Himantopus leucocephalus)

We then set off to find the hide at Buckley's Hole, where I'd also been with Ken 3 weeks before.

There wasn't too much around there this time, but close to the hide was this very handsome Pied Stilt.

Quite a nice bird to finish the Queensland section of my trip!

WOW What a time I'd had with Ken and Judy, and Hans and Judy. Many thanks to all four of you.

Now we were off to the airport for part 3.
