Bird Alert! – Gundabooka National Park
Ok, I mentioned the birds here at Gundabooka a couple of times, but apart from the Emus, I haven’t shown you any. Well, I spent many, many hours stalking these tiny, little, flighty, annoyingly fast birds who would appear in a flash, only to disappear as soon as I lifted my camera to my eye. But I eventually wore them out (I got lucky more to the point) and I was able to get some decent shots. I also saw a few birds here that I had never seen before so that was a bonus.
I’ve numbered the images 1 – 44 and have ID’d those that I could. There are multiple images of the birds, they’re just so cute I couldn’t pick one of each, and I think I have the correct females after the males. Feel free to correct me if I got any identifications wrong, and to ID the birds I couldn’t.
So, for all of you bird lovers out there, make yourselves a cuppa, sit back and enjoy my slideshow of the Birds of Gundabooka (minus the Emus).
See you out there somewhere
On tow and on the go!
Love every single one of your magnificent photos. Thank you for posting. I had no idea that there was so many different species of Bower Birds.
Travel safe
They ae a lovely looking bird aren’t they. I’ve only seen the Spotted Bower, so it’s on my list to look for the others. When I get them I’ll let you know.

Thanks Robynn. You are welcome, I think he is everyone’s favourite.

Some really nice shots there Jo.
Number 28 might be a Jacky Winter (Microeca leucophaea) my book only shows a juvenile the
markings are similar but not as pronounced.
Thanks Les.
I thought it looked like a Jacky Winter, but wasn’t sure. Two great minds thinking alike…we must be right.
awesome photos
Thanks Kevin.
Great photos loved all the birds never seenby us before Annand George
Fabulous photos. Love the red capped robin. I’ve only see it in captivity.
Oh, they are so pretty. I’m embarrassed to say how many photos I have of him. I might have to delete a couple. 😉
