As we wandered along the trail we soon encountered family groups of both White-winged Fairywrens and Variegated Fairywrens. There was also evidence of the damage that feral pigs can do all along the trail and along the water’s edge and we soon came across a small group of them. Feral pigs. Orange Chat. Turtle shell.
