White-throated Grasswren
Jim Jim Falls region, Kakadu NP, Northern Territory
Further to 2012's sighting of WTGW in this area with John Weigel, my wife and i returned and spent several nights in the escarpment. Grasswren were observerd 5hrs walk (10hr return) from the car park. Much closer than last year although not for the faint-hearted. An overnight stay is a must, and well worth it. Access is by by permit only. It's easily obtained from NT Parks and is a bushwalking permit. White-lined Honeyeater, Sandstone Shrike-thrush, Chestnut-quilled Rock-pigeon, Banded Fruit-dove and Banded Honeyeater all reasonably common.

Letter-winged Kite
Big Lake (near Moomba), South Australia
Observers: Jade Adams and Michael Jervois.
The birds were recorded 500 m south of the Big Lake Satellite (no public access).
Weather conditions: mild and sunny morning with few clouds in the sky.
The letter-winged kites were all perched on the same tree.
We took multiple photographs to confirm they were indeed letter-winged kites.
Note: multiple Notomys fuscus (dusky hopping-mouse) pop-holes and tracks were recorded in the area surrounding the letter-winged kites and whitewash was also observed on the whitewood trees surrounding the area where the letter-winged kites were observed.
Letter-winged Kite (20) Twenty letter-winged kites were observed perched in a whitewood tree on a sand dune.
