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.

We were constantly listening for any leaf litter movement and soon saw Orange-footed Scrubfowl turning over piles of leaves. We then heard a sound in the leaf litter and both said at exactly the same time “snake” We have never seen a snake move so fast. Birding Australia northern territory'

The route map near the Springwood train Station As we walked through the houses to start the walk we had a wonderful surprise-our first ever Australian King Parrots ! These parrots are 43cm, so rather large! Ferns were prominent and it was very easy to walk quietly due to all of the damp leaf litter. In the gully!
