Star Finch Floodway billabong just out of Paraburdoo
A healthy population of around 60-70 birds sighted today around/among
reeds in what water is left on the mostly dried out floodway, quite
near the mine. Quite a surprise to see, this far inland, and in such
dry place. Couldn't get a very good shot. [Moderators note (NJ): Star
Finch are widespread throughout the Pilbara, although are generally
restricted to dense Typha or Cyperus, near water.]
