10,000 Birds

As keen birdwatchers, who just happened to have found the Night Parrots in Western Australia, they were keen to look for the Fairy Pitta at first light the next day. This was only to be the second record for Australia. We noted that the Sobrane Gallery had a lot of leaf litter underneath it. There it was!

The hinterland produced some amazing birds and we did find it hard work looking so high into the trees to find the Catbird that continuously called and the Wompoo Fruit Dove, but the leaf litter below also produced some well-disguised birds. The absolute highlight was when I heard leaf litter being thrown about. Grant ignoring Emu.

I also watched a red fox bury her mate after a cougar had killed him. Tika and her longtime mate, Kobuk, had raised eight litters of puppies together and were enjoying their retirement years in the home of my friend, Anne. One, then another, flew off and brought back pine needles and twigs and laid them by his body.
