It is free to enter Serendip Sanctuary and as you drive or walk up the road into the parking area there are opportunities to see kangaroos and wallabies as you can see above. Although Tawny Frogmouths are well camouflaged I did notice the shape of the tree was not quite right and there they were.

These temperatures make for perfect birding/camping weather and because that is one of our favourite pastimes we decided it was time to go and explore a bit more of northern Australia during July.

If you have not read part one, it would be worth your time to do so, as there are some really great birds covered there. It just seemed wrong to post any stories about Australia without at least one Kangaroo, so on our second hike, those featured in the cover picture showed up on the edge of the forest.

The bird life certainly changes a bit, with a complete lack of water, unless you are at a town, well, or station, as many of the ranches are referred to. I guess this a great reason to come back and find that bird again… we will call that the silver lining in a major screw up. The second half of our week was spent in Sydney.

I was looking out a car window the other day and noticed that of all the wildlife most of it was bird. A squirrel skittered by … a squirrel is not a bird.
