Bush Birds.

Took a slight detour on the way home the other day to check what might be on a dam. As we went along the road I saw a flock of small birds land in the long grass, though when I went to find them they were nowhere to be seen. However this Golden-headed Cisticola flew up and landed not far from me. I only managed a couple of shots before it went and hid in the long grass.

Mixed Birds

A friend suggested we take a trip out to a little place called Oakview North West of Gympie to do some birding with him. This is some of the variety we came across during the afternoon outing. Thanks GP for a great spot of birding.
