A few final pics from day 2 in Australia - 13th November 2023 - Green Catbird, Lewin's Honeyeater, Red-browed Firetail, Regent Bowerbird, Welcome Swallow, Wonga Pigeon, Marbled Frogmouth & Sooty Owl.

All the best

Our first day of our Sydney to Melbourne leg on 15th November 2023 got some good results with perhaps Superb Lyrebird, Rockwarbler & Eastern Bristlebird the highlights:-













My photo yearlist reached 1559 which was about 87% of my yearlist:-

1548​
Black-browed Albatross
1549​
Short-tailed Shearwater
1550​
Variegated Fairywren
1551​
Red Wattlebird
1552​
New Holland Honeyeater
1553​
Australian Raven
1554​
Rockwarbler
1555​
Straw-necked Ibis
1556​
Eastern Rosella
1557​
Superb Lyrebird
1558​
Brush Cuckoo
1559​
Eastern Bristlebird

A few pics - Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Australian Raven, Laughing Kookaburra, Little Wattlebird, New Holland Honeyeater, Red Wattlebird, Short-tailed Shearwater, Variegated Fairywren, White-bellied Sea Eagle, Crimson Rosella, Rockwarbler, Eastern Rosella, Superb Lyrebird, Sahul Brush Cuckoo & Eastern Bristlebird.

Some optimism that I will finish 2023 before 2024 ends but I do need to get a few more days done before my next trip away on Friday... Not sure how many of those 2024 goals will complete. Almost time to think about a backlog for 2025 - repeat after me - "I will not get two years' goals behind...":-


All the best

Our sixth and final day with Phil Maher was 23rd November 2023. We started at Ouyen and headed back to Deniliquin before setting out towards Melbourne and Tasmania. It was our 12th day in Australia and we had six further days ahead before two of us carried on to New Zealand & further adventures.

The day ended with an unfortunate mix up with us loading our rental car with one of Phil Maher's bags (including his thermal equipment) resulting in an about turn about an hour into our ongoing journey and thankfully, reuniting the bag with Phil's wife without too much fuss... I like to think that Phil was recovering from the weekend rather than making voodoo dolls of us to inflict some deserved revenge for our error. (In respect of who was responsible from our party, in the words of Shaggy, it wasn't me.... It was the second occasion in the year when one of our party had made this error. On the previous occasion on our Ontario and Michigan trip, we had crossed the border between Canada and the United States before discovering the error but we were able to keep our friend's bag heading back to Somerset & reuniting them there....... :cool: )

The delay meant that our time on arrival in Bendigo was delayed and limited to checking out Bells Swamp but dipping Australian Painted Snipe in the evening. At least we had checked out the site for the morning....
