It wasn't a bird but more a place for me. I moved very close to Lake Monger and walked around it and discovered the various ducks and other waterbirds that were there. I then visited Bayswater Bird Sancturary and did the same.
Then we drove over the Nullabor to Adelaide and while in Adelaide the urge got it's grip (there are so many birds in Adelaide that aren't around in Perth) and I HAD to get a bird ID book RIGHT AWAY! I bought Simpson & Day and haven't stopped birding since. Binoculars really helped out too - got them when I returned from Adelaide.
