    Laughing Kookaburras aren't native to Western Australia, a fact I wasn't aware of before my trip. As well as WA, they were introduced to Tasmania and New Zealand! Think this was the only one that I saw in WA, though he certainly isn't shy and retiring, is he LOL.

  2. Destroying or excavating?

    Destroying or excavating?

    I thought the Galahs were just doing their thing (destroying the top of the dead tree). Now I guess they're actually excavating a nest hole (though quite prepared to be corrected on that). This was another dead tree in the middle of the lake.

    Family time

    Then we came to a little stilt family. It was nice to see them altogether like that. So I guess we have, one Pied Stilt, one Australian Stilt and one White-headed Stilt, LOL, not bad!!!

    Dead wood

    A Straw-necked Ibis was sitting on top of one of the dead trees in the middle of the lake. That was nice, as I didn't get to see too many of these as they're not nearly so common as the others (at least not in the parts I visited).

    There were a few Mute Swan about that afternoon; didn't see any pairs though, so presumably the females were on nests. I rather like the colours in this image.

    Busy place

    Making his way towards the Pink-eared Duck was a Red-kneed Dotterel, quietly passing a foraging Grey Teal. There was plenty going on that morning! I was pleased to see the dotterel though, as I don't think I'd seen one for ages!

    Confusion

    I get so confused between Australian and Australasian species LOL. This is an Australasian Swamphen, not as I have shown on the picture "Australian".

    How pretty Nankeen Night Heron's are. My very first sighting of one and, in fact, my first sighting of any night heron. So, just a few birds in, and I've already got a Lifer for the day!

    While we were watching the pretty Wheatears on the dry stone dyke behind the car, suddenly a Eurasian Sparrowhawk swooped over the bonnet and headed for the dyke.

    Pole Corellas

    These two Little Corellas were on a dead stump out in the middle of the lake. They seemed rather intent on either chewing at the wood or having found some food, were stuffing themselves. Rather pretty birds are corellas I think.

    Another rather confused species for the Pied Stilt is also known as Australian Stilt and White-headed Stilt, LOL We'd had a long day driving up from Albany, eventually reaching Perth.

    That the very last picture I show you from Little Grove, should be a Western Rosella, one of the endemic Western Australian species. I was really quite taken by the beautiful colours in his wing and tail feathers.

    My first picture of Black Swans from Little Grove, as although there always seemed to be some Out There, they were far too far away to photograph. These two came over to apologise for their bad behaviour, as if they knew this was my last day in Albany.
