Millstream Chichester National Park, WA (Sep, 2015)
Quietly sitting in recesses on a rock face overlooking a waterhole, we were able to get good views of several species of birds coming in to drink.
For a change, Zebra Finches were not the most numerous bird in attendance. That award went to Painted Finches, one of my favourites.
