Sadly for a short while at the beginning of the tour we were harassed by some youngsters in a boat, but they gave up in the end.

    I just didn't realise, taking a series of pictures of a Black Kite flying alongside us. The last picture showed him eating something that he had in his talons. This is a very heavy crop.

    Several black kites were hunting over a freshly harvested field. They seemed to go for voles, which might actually have been killed by the mower.

    We went to the town of Blinman and I was surprised to see another Emu there, walking across the road as if he owned the town!!! We went to the hotel for lunch (the Pub in the Scrub) as it's affectionately known. In there was information about the Cazneux Tree... a very old gum tree standing...

    Things went a bit downhill after that.... I made even more of a mess of the next few birds and we started on the walk back to the cabins... it became a bit of a trudge in the heat and after a bit both Adrienne and I were falling to bits. So Peter bravely set off on his own to get the car and...

    with a mouse from a freshly mowed meadow. Three Spotted flycatchers where here this afternoon. No more nesting activity. One big problem for nesting birds in this area is that the corvids permanently return to this place because people feed them.

    With still an hour to go before dinner at the hotel and wondering how to fill in the time, I suggested we stop by the river and see if we could get access to it.
