RFI – Purple-crowned Fairy-wren

Steven Sass asked about Purple-crowned Fairy-wrens close to Kununurra. As far as I am aware, there are none. The only place close to Kununurra that I have seen it has been on a boat trip on Lake Argyle down to the Ord River. They were in an area of Jerusalem Thorn (Parkinsonia) covered in wild passionfruit. It would be easier to head across to the Northern Territory to the Victoria River crossing. They are of course in the north Kimberley at places such as Miners Pool at Drysdale River Station. _________________________________________________________________ Frank O’Connor Birding WA http://birdingwa.iinet.net.au Phone : (08) 9386 5694 Email : foconnor@iinet.net.au
