Last year when we camped at Langi Crossing the family of Varied Sittellas that are usually in the area had birds amongst them that were clearly juvenile. They are only 10-11cm long, so one of the smallest birds in Australia and if you are suffering from presbycusis you will be relying on your eyesight for any little bit of movement.

Parrots captivate me more than any other bird family. Second, they occupy an astonishing variety of habitats from temperate Araucaria forests in Chile to alpine scree in New Zealand to seasonally flooded rainforests in Brazil to rocky sea cliffs in Australia. However, they do not occur evenly across their familial distribution.

Anyhow, so every now and again, Hannes sends me incredible photos from his adopted home in Australia (he is from Tirol originally) and we exchange ideas about how we can push digiscoping just a little further.

A very reliable source of information for the highways in Western Australia is the Main Roads Travel Map. The north of Western Australia is no longer accessible by road due to unprecedented flooding.

I will continue to remind you to check the Main Roads Travel map if you are travelling around Western Australia, because there are still many road closures. Australian Pelican Glossy Ibis Most of the Magpie Geese families have moved away from the highway now, but there are still some close to the fence-line.

Strangely, the Oriental Dollarbird seems to suffer a bit from an image problem. And frankly, the genus name of Eurystomus , or “wide-mouthed”, does not sound that attractive either … But it is a beauty, the Oriental Dollarbird , in line with some of the other members of its family, the Rollers.
