More Kimberleyland treats

This is the last post containing photos taken from within the Kimberleyland caravan park. As you may have gathered I thoroughly enjoyed being able to walk a few metres from where you were eating or sleeping or having a drink and taking photos of birds I had hardly ever seen before!

Apostlebirds at lunch

Apostlebirds and Great bowerbird were two lifers I suspected would be unavoidable on our northern holiday. We ran into them both at the Daly Waters Roadhouse on the Stuart Highway. I wasn't expecting them to be such aggressive birds around picnic areas!





Always happy for Dad to see something new?
Great Bowerbird
This would be a Torresian Crow I gather

Bird on!
