One of those 'neversitstill' birds threw down a ripper pose yesterday for guests on our 5 Day Birdwatching Tour

Pied Monarchs are 1 of 13 endemic birds found in the . They remind me of Tree Creepers, the way they shimmey around the tree from bottom to top, scanning for tucker before moving onto the bottom of the next tree. Predicting their next move is KEY 🔑

This was a pause while in mid decision about which tree to investigate next 😳

Dingoes have been in Australia somewhere between 4,000 and 8,000 years. They have widely contributed to keeping down the populations of rabbits, feral pigs, and other introduced pests.

Sadly, Dingoes face many threats, such as Interbreeding with domestic dogs, which is limiting their gene pool. Also the shooting of Dingoes to protect livestock is very common practice.

We absolutely love a wild sighting at
