    In danger

    Further along this road we came across Shingle-back Lizard Blue Tongue in the middle of the road, so needed to hasten him safely on his way across. Wonderful looking lizards, aren't they. Busy week.... off to SpecSavers and the Chiropractor today!

    No table manners

    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.

    We were far from done with Wedge-tailed Eagle sightings for a couple of miles down the road, was one flying alongside us. Quite pleased with this one, taken from a moving car LOL

    Jay Walkers..... guess not!

    We eventually came out onto the main road that ran up the other side of the mountains from where we were staying.... rather a rough track all the way, so maybe a long road for a short-cut comes to mind LOL. Rounding a series of bends we came across a group of Australian Raven, with a couple of...

    High up

    After another awesome breakfast we headed for a couple of miles back towards Hawker before taking a rather rough road across to Moralana. We didn't see too much bird life initially, but then spotted a large blob sitting high up on a ridge. Couldn't really have been anything else but a...

    Very much a stop start run along this stretch of road. We next pulled up for this gorgeous Blue-tongue Shingleback lying in the road. After a couple of photos we ushered him away into the bush.
  7. What's he got

    What's he got

    We passed the area of the road kill and continued along the main road, when yet another raptor attracted our attention. This time a Black Kite flying across the paddocks on our left. This pose seems to show him chewing his toes, or something he's holding.
  8. Feeding frenzy

    Feeding frenzy

    We'd now made our way across to the metaled road on the other side of the mountains. Sadly there were a number of road kills on the road, all attracting scavengers. This group consisted mostly of Australian Ravens and a single Wedge-tailed Eagle. Picture quality isn't great, as I took it...
  9. Ridged

    Ridged

    This day we drove a little south then turned on to a dirt road taking us through to Moralana. Quite a scenic drive. We didn't see many birds to start with, but suddenly there was one spied on a distant ridge. From the size, it really couldn't have been anything else than a Wedge-tailed Eagle...
