SEPTEMBER 13, 2015

We have just been away for a week camping and birding in the bush to the north of Broome and while I will give you more details of some of the places we visited in forthcoming posts I will just share with you all an encounter with a pair of Grey-fronted Honeyeaters this week. View from Ngumban Cliffs. Grey-fronted Honeyeater having a drink.

Over the past week in Australia there has been a lot of talk in the media about coral bleaching and most of the conversation has been about the Great Barrier Reef off the eastern coast of Australia. There were still birds feeding on the reef as the tide pushed in fast and these were mostly migratory shorebirds and also Reef Egrets.

This cyclone has been named Cyclone Iggy and is a dominant circle on our satellite image of Western Australia. The birds will be dispersing across the country and our garden has been rather quiet since the rain started. A wet garden without birds! We took the opportunity to just observe the birds and their antics.

The sky had been blue when we had left Wiluna a few hours earlier and there was no indication of what was likely to happen to the weather later in the day, but we had pulled in at a rest area about 55kms/34 miles south of the town to investigate the facilities. There were a few rubbish bins and a shelter with a picnic table and benches.
