Re: Birdwatchery
That's a grasswren. Looking at my bird guide i'd say Kalkadoon Grasswren from western Qld but it could also be a dusky grasswren from the NT. Either way, you ain't in Kansas anymore!
Beautiful bird, either way.

You could have waited more than 2 minutes and at least made it seem a challenge.
Yep, if you're seeing that you are somewhere reasonably close to Mt Isa and looking at a rocky outcrop probably dominated by Triodia.

Re: Birdwatchery
There's no way I could make the security camera footage attractive, but again the Masked Lapwings, aka plovers, have been active at night out front of our place, foraging on the footpath at 0140.
As happened last time I saw them, birds have been sharing the space with a couple of hares.

All hail the bin-chicken, and anything else that can eat those bloody cane toads and get away with it.
