Well, today has turned out to be brighter holiday
weather here in Adelaide than the gloomy Fri/Sat/Sun we've just
had.
I went to visit the Birds SA campout at Murray -
Sunset Park yesterday where the weather was very windy and had a few scuts of
rain, but nothing enough to do any good. The 30 or so campers had done
reasonably well for birds having sighted 85 species, the best of which were
Mallee Emu-wren, Striated Grasswren, and Gilberts and Red-lored Whistlers.
Spent a few pleasant hours with them until the monster spiders started coming up
out of their holes in the ground at dusk - definitely time to go.
A lot of driving - 3.5 hrs each way, but what the
heck - didn't need any rocking last night !
Anton.
