A week after arriving home, after travelling 12,000 km through Central
Australia, Western & Eastern Queensland and Western & Central NSW, a
Double-barred Finch was discovered firmly attached to the front of the car
radiator. It was in quite good shape and looked somewhat preserved. And it
was a trip tick.
For the entire time we were in the NT, south west Qld & north west NSW
the only finches our group were seeing were Zebras. They were everywhere
and in large numbers. Even the Brown Goshawk, which we observed
'going for' zebras at Newhaven Reserve, NT, wasn't able to reduce the
numbers.
