Hi all,
I have just returned from a week-long trip to Mungo NP, which offered
fantastic birdwatching with 70 species observed, 20 of which were new
marks for me.While staying at the remote Belah camp we offered some
water to our feathered friends and within 2 hours 12 species found and
used the source of water: Willie Wagtail, Aus. Raven, Mulga and
Mallee-Ringneck parots, Striated Pardalote, Red Wattlebird (Simpson and
Day does not show this bird in that area), Spiny-cheeked HE, Striped
HE, Yellow-throated Miner, Apostlebird, plus two, which I haven't been
able to identify either there or from picture. I was hoping that
someone might be able to help with the identification of these two
birds?
Some of the Yellow-throated Miners had very little yellow on them and
the black patch behind the ear was a bit larger... is there any way to
confirm that this could have been a Black-eared Miner? I have some
pretty good pictures of them if anyone is interested.
Cheers,
Carsten
