Birding-Aus Digest, Vol 80, Issue 2

Chris,

As old fashioned twitchers but not photographers, and having criss-crossed Oz over fifty years, have never had trouble seeing Spinifex birds. Just walk slowly, stand or sit very still when you hear them and they will jump up to have a look. Usually in pairs. Taking a pic might be another story, they don’t stay up very long, but try walking away and using a telephoto lens.

Some of the Grass wrens were our bête noir., but eventually got them all.

Cheers

Michael
