Black Grasswren (6/13)

PASSERIFORMES: Maluridae

Amytornis housei  

The long walk through the rocky escarpment, dodging spinifex and climbing the boulders with no shade and carrying litres of water and camera gear took it's toll but I was still thrilled to see this wonderful bird and he even posed for photos. He must have known the effort taken to come and visit him.
