Birding-Aus Digest, Vol 109, Issue 5

Not sure if this helps but, around 2011/12 I saw the Aust Painted Snipe at Newey reservoir in Cobar, right next to a Painted Honeyeater which was in the tree to the right of it… I’ve been back many times since to the same spot and it’s never been there…

So since then nothing ZIP, no answers on the “chatline” , no reply to emails, no phone as . . . → Read More: DC Cameras

Bastard Winglets on a Nankeen Kestrel

Alula flight feathers or, bastard winglets are small wings at the elbow of birds especially raptors… and probably many others. I took some photographs of a Nankeen Kestrel displaying them in strong up-draughts hovering above the cliffs south of my home in Adelaide… and an Australasian Pelican sans alula’s… https://www.ararelitus.com/blog/nankeen-kestrel-cliff-soaring … can be seen on my . . . → Read More: Bastard Winglets on a Nankeen Kestrel
