Night Drive..Aussie style (29 Oct)



Well we took a night drive on to the Hay Plains with the "Plains-wanderer specialist", Phil Maher. And what an afternoon and night we had. Lots of birds, and even two lifers for me in there... The night drive started with this Little Buttonquail, just recently arrived back on to the plains...

Not long after, the star of the show turned up, Plains-Wanderer, and you could almost hear the sighs of relief all round! This was a young female, displaying the chestnut band that the male lacks.

Plenty more from the Hay Plains to come...
