Circumstances landed us back near Parry Creek Lagoons about a week after our first visit so we took the opportunity to have another look. The flat grassland on either side of the dry-season dirt road had become more familiar - I love it! Again pratincole were a regular sighting.

A cooperative Rainbow bee-eater provided one of the highlights. |
When one can tear one's self away from the water birds there are other species to be seen in the surrounding vegetation including Rainbow bee-eater and White-gaped honeyeater. Buff-sided robin was also seen (good views, poor photo)!
Pied heron once again afforded good views but it was the close viewing of a few brolga that had us most excited ....
|
Brolga were readily seen on this visit. |
|
Comb-crested jacana were a family-favourite once again and featured in the educational signage (photo by Ellen). |

The higher you are, the more you see! Magpie goose and Plumed whistling-duck at Marlgu Billabong, Parry Creek Lagoons. |

Gorgeous close-ups of Australasian grebe were possible from the viewing platform. |
Bird on!
Another stunning set of images Pete!
