Strange (Taeniopygia guttata)

We had some incredible views on our drive around Torndirrup along with some lovely flowers too. We visited the Historic Whaling Station and had a very tasty lunch there, before going off for yet more exploration of that peninsula.

When we got home the enigmatic Zebra Finch was waiting to check we got back OK. For those that don't know, this finch's natural range is a couple of hundred kms away, so his origins are rather uncertain.

A beautiful portrait of this very striking finch, Delia! A couple of hundred kilometers doesn't sound that far.
