Dec 2, 2012 - Philip Maher's Plains-Wanderer Weekend Continued

Since we got in so late, Philip gave us a break and we started at 7:30. We spent the morning at various wetlands and plains habitat. New birds included Australian Little Bittern, Black-faced Woodswallow and Cockatiel. In total, we saw 18 new bird species over the weekend. We were very happy, as we had thought we would only be looking for the Plains-wanderer. This was one of the most awesome birding experiences we have ever had! Total Australian birds: 357!

Aug 23, 2011 - Nearly Out Of NSW

Hi, We have had another interesting few days. When we left Bourke we drove to Cobar and went straight to the caravan park. Parked next to the couple that we had bumped into the day before. After setting up we walked into town and did some exploring. I found a very interesting young lady who lives on a property that we were near when we went to Louth for a picnic, way back when, and Shindies Pub is her local - very interesting lady. She runs the knitting shop and drives 180kms a day to work and back each day. I had lost Barry, but found him...
