Camping by the Fitzroy River

10,000 Birds

It was actually ten years ago that we observed our first Painted Snipe in Australia on Grant’s birthday! Goanna investigating the drop-off. We moved in slowly and soon observed that there was a well camouflaged nest with one egg in it. Black-fronted Dotterel nest with one egg. A goanna-once again well camouflaged.
