The last catch
The last picture I took at Bowra, a superb reserve. Found this Black-fronted Dotterel with a decent sized catch. Don't know what it was though. Sadly, all my pictures for the journey home seem to have got deleted; so I've none showing my first sighting of Wedge-tailed Eagle, nor the snow on...- delia todd

Shade-lover?
Well why else would his face not be tanned eh? When we got back to the homestead, we had a last look at the dam, for we were leaving in the morning for the long drive home. A White-faced Heron was patrolling the shallows.- delia todd

Keeping control
I think it's dad that cares for the youngsters; he seems to have the measure of his job anyway LOL. Here was another family of Emus out on the entrance road through the reserve. They weren't far from us but didn't seem at all concerned by our presence. SF- delia todd

A one off
This Brown Falcon was the only one I saw on my travels. The light was all wrong, so I've had to adjust the levels to try to get some detail.- delia todd

In the Brown
Exploring the Saw Pits road, we came to the dam and found an Australasian Grebe there. Why the preferred that one to the Back Dam I don't know LOL... guess there's a reason.- delia todd

A one off
Still out of the car after photographing the woodswallow, I spotted this Mulga Parrot. The only one I saw on my trip. Rather pretty parrots these I think, even though he was keeping very much in the shade due to the extreme heat that day.- delia todd

Rather pretty
We'd hardly left the compound when I was diving out of the car again to get this lady White-browed Woodswallow. The only female I saw on my travels and the Cunnamulla area was the only place I saw the species.- delia todd

Making out
Back at the homestead dam, an immature Red-kneed Dotterel seemed to be well independent, striding along at the water's edge.- delia todd

Ever wondered
Why it's so difficult to see birds sometimes? This Australian Ringneck made it really, really difficult. In fact I'm really not sure how I spotted him and managed to get a picture at all LOL Saturday Fun- delia todd

As I said yesterday, along from the male was a female Masked Woodswallow. Afraid the light was a bit awkward on her.- delia todd

They travel in flocks
... and a flock came in to drink. It's a mixed group with the males having the red-spotted creamy face; the females and juveniles are rather duller.- delia todd

The first time I saw a Yellow-throated Miner trying to drink from a perch. Doesn't look too sure about whether it's possible, does he LOL.- delia todd

Keeping close
The youngster wasn't far from mum, in fact he was between his parents. Bourke's Parrot have a widespread range across southern Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia but these were the only ones I saw, despite visiting those other two states as well. They feed on the ground.- delia todd

Inquisitive
This Bourke's Parrot seems to be wondering what I'm up to, doesn't she. This was the only time I saw this species but was lucky enough to get a family!! The others will follow over the next few days.- delia todd

Attractively plain
On first view this Spotted Bowerbird would seem to be just a dull brown, but he's much nicer than that and even had a lilac patch on the nape.- delia todd

Disciples... and a convert?
There are 10 Apostlebirds in this picture along with a Crested Pigeon. Did end up with 12 of the Apostlebirds in the end. They all seem to hide in that bush, before walking down to the water. Never saw them in the bush, nor getting to it!- delia todd
