I also managed to get some proper looks at the attractive Painted Dragons too.12/02/12Pausing by a patch of trees, I noticed that some of the nearby Yellow-plumed Honeyeaters looked a bit odd. After a bit of time studying them my suspicions were confirmed, as at least some of the birds proved to be Grey-fronted Honeyeaters. One eventually gave outstanding views as it preened on a low branch just in front of me, showing off all the key id features including the tiny grey patch on the forehead which gives the species its name.13/02/12On this day, and a few others, I put a lot of time in to finding Malleefowl – these basically became the Cassowaries of this particular trip and once again I was unsuccessful, which was pretty gutting! There are very few on the reserve and so seeing one of these superbly camouflaged birds was always going to be tricky. Finding one beautiful Malleefowl feather, and seeing an active mound, was as close as I came.I saw Numbats during the day-time tracking, and that evening another night drive gave further excellent views of Bridled Nailtail Wallabies, Boodies, Bilbies and Mala.Birds375.
