Birdline Western Australia

Published sightings for the week ending 19 Aug 2012.

Sun 19 Aug Blue-winged Kookaburra clump of trees near WTP - South Hedland, Western Australia
I was returning to the WTP (on foot) to see if the Pink-eared Ducks were still there (they weren't) when I spotted 2 BW Kookaburras. I haven't seen BWK in the vicinity of South Hedland before so that was pretty exciting, given that most birds today were grounded (its pretty windy). No photo.

Sat 18 Aug Pink-eared duck WTP South Hedland, Western Australia
A number of Pink-eared Ducks were seen on the water's edge, quite late in the day. Will be revisiting in the morning to get a better look and some better photos (tho the fence is a bit of a nuisance).

Star Finch, Yellow-rumped Mannikin Parrys Lagoon Nature Reserve, Western Australia
Star Finch Many birds present including high numbers of juveniles. These birds were photographed with several other birds 4kns down the track to the lagoon Yellow-rumped Mannikin (2) Sensational viewing of a pair of these birds. Many photographs taken after walking 100 meters into a paddock where the birds were initially among a large flock of Star finches but when they all flew off the Mannikins stayed on the ground. Undoubtedly the highlight of our WA trip so far
