The species is only in the north of Australia and they are often found in locations that are hard to get to year round. We have been able to observe Purple-crowned Fairy-wrens in a few locations across the north of Australia and they were quite easy to see in the car-park at Big Horse Creek in 2017.

There are the endemics, which are odd in their own way, and then there introduced species, which are so varied in their type and origin that you get the feeling you’ve arrived at the aftermath of a small zoo that escaped. What is surprising is quite how many species did end up here, and how economically unimportant they were.

Following on from last week where I introduced you to the Sarus Crane , which is one of the largest bird species that we observed on our recent trip across the north of Australia , I will now introduce you to one of the smallest bird species that we encountered. Pair of Purple-crowned Fairy-wrens.

Over recent weeks I have been able to share some of my observations along the Great Southern Rail Trail in Victoria, Australia. They are very similar to the Masked Lapwings in the north of Australia, but of course they have ‘black shoulders”! This week I will introduce you to the section from Fish Creek to Buffalo.

I always approach the bridge slowly to see what bird species are below and around the area. Foxes were introduced to Australia in 1855 for hunting and have established themselves far and wide. Once I find a few active species I watch and wait. Pacific Black Ducks. Tiger Snake. White-throated Treecreeper.

Western Australia is a big state in case you were not sure! Then in the morning they would bucket the water onto the granite with the use of horses and the granite would explode in layers. Burra Rock Conservation Reserve offers free camping , but you do need to be self-sufficient and there is no mobile phone coverage.

Sometimes they were with horses, but that’s OK! In fact the lake was too deep for a lot of bird species, but the track in the bush was very productive and our 200th bird after two weeks was the Red-capped Robin! Of the 271 bird species I had 163 new ones to add to my year list and a total of 311 now!
