Break between preening
Moving along a little bit a Tree Martin suddenly plonked himself on a branch and started preening, then stretched out a bit, giving me this view.- delia todd

But he's Black and White
We'd not got to Bluff Knoll view point. There was a rather nice elevated walkway overlooking a steep drop, so we were actually at canopy height. A Scarlet Robin landed on a tree right in front of me and sat a couple of minutes allowing me to get this picture. He'd obviously got some youngsters...- delia todd

Small but nice
We spent quite some time exploring the park, but few birds revealed themselves (it was very hot, so guess they were keeping well into the shade). However, we did stop a lot and went for little walks, getting pictures of plants and the scenery (views were terrific with the mountains beyond). We...- delia todd

A local special
Pongorup NP is one of the few places where the White-breasted Robin can be found. But actually he found us and cavorted around for a few minutes making sure I had plenty of chances to photograph him LOL His is rather cute, isn't he and poses rather like our own robin.- delia todd

See the size of that foot!!!
After breakfast we set off for about an hour inland to Pongorup National Park, a dry forest. We stopped first at the rather intriguingly named Tree in Rock day use area and sat at one of the tables for a cuppie. Within a minute a Rufous Treecreeper showed himself to us.... what a beauty he...- delia todd

At least
.... he showed me a bit of his wing!!! He was sitting on the stump when I tried to take his picture, then the obvious happened. Actually this is a bit of a plumage info picture. White-breasted Robins have a white wing bar, but it's only visible in flight. The vaguely similar female Hooded...- delia todd

Tree'd
Another catch-up picture this one. I'd first seen a Tree Martin on my first day with Peter in Adelaide, but couldn't get a picture. So here was one, perched at eye level in the canopy of a tree (where else LOL). Quite handy being at the same height as the tree tops, isn't it. I'd never have...- delia todd

The dark side
We then moved on to another view point at Bluff Knoll. There's a rather steep mountain there which some silly people like to climb!!! But the car park area is very attractively laid out and there's a visitor centre with lots of information. You fairly high so at canopy level and there I spotted...- delia todd

The wee one
We drove around the Porongurups, stopping here and there for interesting spots, walks and views (of which there were many of all). At one place, overlooking Mount Barker, we had pulled up when this Little Eagle flew over. I just managed to catch him before he went out of sight!- delia todd

One of the specialities
Hot on the heels of the pretty treecreeper, came this attractive White-breasted Robin; Porongurup NP is one of the few places it it found in Western Australia. And here he came to see what we were eating LOL. Apparently this is a typical view of them, clinging to the trunk of a tree. They're...- delia todd

Ruffie
After breakfast we headed north up to Porongurup National Park. Our first stop there was at the oddly named Tree in Rock picnic area. Sitting there, minding my own business (well eating lunch actually) suddenly up pops this beauty! A Rufous Treecreeper... and what great views he gave me.- delia todd
