Dear All, Anyone been to Monkey Mia recently and seen the Western Grasswrens? Thinking of an excursion there soon (I guess it will be hot?). I’m kind of thinking they’re a permanent fixture… Cheers Tim Jones Sent from my iPad

Tim We visited in early October 2012. The grass-wrens were quite easy to find and photograph on the nature trails leading out from the dolphin centre carpark, and we even found them running about under the bushes among the parking bays. If you can get out to Dirk Hartog island, race leucopterus of the White-winged Fairy-wren (with nuptial males in all black-and-white plumage) was easy to find close to the lodge. It was a thrill to see a territorial dispute between two males in breeding plumage. Dirk Hartog island is a short flight by light aircraft from the mainland. The lodge was comfortable and the food good. The owners may be able to lend you a golf buggy to get around in. regards Neville Pamment —– Original Message —– Sent: Sunday, November 15, 2015 3:56 PM
