Australian Bustard
Eyre Highway, 5km east of Cocklebiddy, Western Australia
Our elation at seeing a Bustard within five metres of the highway was diminished when we realised a second Bustard was dead on the road close by. We wonder whether they were the pair which we had seen at the top of the escarpment on the road to Eyre Bird Observatory in January 2012.
