Northern (Crested) Shriketit
Central Arnhem Road
Sue and I went to the usual spot 8km in off the SH where we saw the bird two years ago, all to no avail at 7:45am., but later on at 11am two birds were happily feeding above the car! They were confiding and feeding in the tops of the larger trees gently calling to each other..why? why weren't you there?...great experience again.
