Flock Bronzewing (9/13)

COLUMBIFORMES: Columbidae

Phaps histrionica  

Flock Bronzewings were a bird we were hoping to see in this part of the country.

We had hoped that we might be lucky enough to experience a large flock of them at sun-up or sun-down at a waterhole somewhere but it was not to be.

Our only sightings of Flock Bronzewings on this trip were this female visiting a bore along the Barkly Stock Route whilst we were there and a male that paid a much shorter visit.

One or two is a whole lot better than none.
