I thought I would try my luck in the Anglesea Heathland area today but the hot, windy weather defeated me. Apart from the ubiquitous Superb Fairy-wren, there was very little else to be seen. The forested areas did provide a few birds I have not photographed for a while so it was not a total flop.

The most exciting find for the day was non-avian

| Tiger Snake, Anglesea Heath |
and I did manage to get the new 4WD into low range for the first time on a few tracks so the day was not a complete dead loss :-)
Great snap of the Tiger Snake, Ian.
ReplyDeletei was out on Anglesea Heath yesterday too but like you had trouble finding birds. Last week the place was teaming with avian life.
Cheers,
Geoff.
Thanks Geoff. Yes, I think the series of hot days and yesterday's strong winds made it a bad day for birds. I'm still trying to find the Southern Emu Wrens but have had no luck...one day.
