The park is the largest botanic garden in Australia and access is free. It was interesting to see how few blue items it had been able to collect in that environment. We are used to seeing the bower of the Great Bowerbird and the huge display of collected items and this was somewhat lacking! Satin Bowerbird -female.

There is a lot of extreme behavior here (and a lot of that behavior takes place in Australia), but this is not simply a collection of the world’s most fantastic bird tales. Most of the chapters in The Bird Way focus on one or two scientists who has done extensive research on ‘outlier behavior.’

The weather has not been very warm at all in this part of Australia despite it being summer and we have been fortunate to have not been affected by the awful bush-fires. They often nip back and forth onto the trail collecting food. They are usually busy throwing leaf litter around on the forest floor. Eastern Whipbird.

Rather than collect them on your face, which was what happened initially to Grant, we collected a stick from the forest floor and cleared our way. Ferns were prominent and it was very easy to walk quietly due to all of the damp leaf litter. The gully was really quite steep in places. In the gully!
