The evidence is now conclusive, the
Jinx, the Jonah, the Fly in the Ointment is ME! Having struck an
Internet deal with the lovely Christine at the camp I managed to get
yesterdays Blog away then the whole system crashed. Guess that's why
they call me lucky. Yet another Plan B and a 100 'click' drive back to
the library just shows how dedicated I am, but the maintenance man is on
his way to fix Chris's gear so here's hoping.
Agggggh,
it's 14:00 local and there isn't a free spot until 16:00 so I sat down
to twiddle my thumbs, thought I would just try to log-on and Bingo. The
drive from Leeuwin to Geraldton is a fairly pleasant one, but as
darkness fell last night what I needed was some sleep. Returning from
whence I had come, Perth Airport, I parked in the Hire Car Return Bay
and got my head down. Only 200Km at a steady pace and stopping for birds
on the way made for a pleasant day resulting in the following images.
WHITE-BROWED SCRUBWREN
COMMON BRONZEWING
GALAH a pest to many a great sight for the Birder.
BANDED PLOVER (Lapwing)
A 'Lifer' of which there could be others but there has been little time to check so far.
but not too many miles from civilisation you start to pick up
these mountainous inland sand dunes - impressive!
and finally, for today at least, WHITE-BREASTED WOODSWALLOW.
Let's hope the repairman get there and we have a bit more luck with the Internet tomorrow.
