I was
observing a breeding pair of Australian Hobby last weekend while we were
camped on the banks of the Murray at Waikerie . It helped made a relaxing
trip even more enjoyable.

        

I also had
good views of a Brown Quail, White-browed Babbler and nesting Variegated
wrens with 3 eggs in the nest.  The male Variegated Wren is a superb
looking bird.  This was a lifer for me.

        

There were
also plenty of Caspian Terns cruising up the river and smaller terns as
well which I was not able to ID properly. Little Terns maybe ?
