It was an incredible time on the road and one which I will expand on over coming weeks.

Unfortunately we have only ever seen dead Barn Owls in the Broome area and one day it would be nice to see a bird hunting over the land.

Grey Teal roosted around a dam alongside Black-fronted Dotterels and Red-kneed Dotterels and Australian Pratincoles were well-camouflaged amongst the cattle. They were hunting across the plains and being rather successful due to the sudden influx of prey. Birding Australia Broome' Brown Falcon 50 kilometres from Broome!
