A Day at Gluepot (Part 2)

In addition to the honeyeaters shown in the previous post, we also found several other species...

White-winged Chough, Gluepot Reserve
Australian Ringneck (Mallee race), Gluepot Reserve
Common Bronzewing, Gluepot Reserve

and several species seen easily from roads while driving, including Rainbow Bee-eaters, a highlight wherever you manage to see them...

and the non-avian highlight of the day was an active Shingle-Back (we were to see about a hundred more of these over the next week but the first reptile of a trip is always fun)
