Chestnut Teal, Little Grassbird and more ...

Russ Jenkins and I had a productive morning around Wyreema. We picked up some nice birds including three locally rare species in Chestnut Teal, Yellow-throated Miner (nest-building) and Little Grassbird. A pair of Black Falcons hunting a peewee provided a wonderful spectacle. Somehow it managed to evade them, apparently finding refuge on the edge of a dam.
