And the worm was THIS big! A willie wagtail boasting at Gluepot Reserve 😆
A splendid fairywren - which was right at the Sittella campground at Gluepot Reserve. Didn't have to walk for for this one 🙂 Happy Wrensday Wednesday! #wrensday

It's Wrensday Wednesday! 😀 Here's a splendid fairywren that was easy to find right at my camping ground at Gluepot on Sunday. These are stunning little birds. #wrensday
9 times out of 10, I can sit quietly and patiently while dealing with heat and dust and flies - and get nothing. Then, on that 10th time, the universe will gift me a moment like this. Two cockatiels landed right in front of me at Gluepot - right in the spot I was hoping they would land. A miracle!
I took this photo of a male mulga parrot while at my camping ground. You really don't have to walk far to go birding sometimes. Gluepot Reserve, South Australia.
Due to heavy autumn and winter rains across central Australia, I predicted that it would be a bumper spring/summer season for budgies and cockatiels. Well, I wasn't wrong! There were 1000s of budgies and cockatiels at Gluepot. That's not an exaggeration. It was incredible.
A small sand goanna at Gluepot Reserve. It didn't give me much of an opportunity to get photos. They don't tend to hang around 😄
Today is #Stunday and I think the milky way is stunning. To stand and look deep into the edge of our galaxy is humbling. Especially when viewed in a dark sky location. It's visible along the coast of North Florida. #photography #landscape #ECK #MilkyWay #stars #astronomy #space #astrophotography
So ... this is what I was doing on my Sunday morning. How was yours? A cockatiel enjoying a drink at Gluepot Reserve. #birdsseenin2026
The New Yorker posted exactly how I interpreted the whole visit.
The young Adelaide rosella being fed by its parent in one of my backyard apple trees. (As I tried to hide behind a rose bush 😄)
I heard rosellas outside. So I grabbed my camera and snuck out the back and waited. Amazingly, an adult and young one flew into my backyard. I wasn't very well hidden so it's a bit of a miracle they didn't skidaddle. The adult went down on the ground to feast on the freshly whipper-snippered grass 😀
Happy Wrensday Wednesday! A male white-winged fairywren at the Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden. #wrensday
