Perth, Western Australia, 9th-20th April

Not long back from a 2 week stay in Perth WA to visit family who had moved over there a year and a half ago so not entirely a birding holiday, but while there I had a plan and suggested some sites that I'd read up on beforehand to visit that would get some good birds on for me and everyone else would also enjoy going to. Rottnest island, King's park and penguin island were all visited along with various other sites in and around Perth.
72 lifer's were seen but there were probably at least 10 species that got away, unidentified due to either being fly overs while in the car or to far away without my scope at that point.

  1. I love the photo you took of the Magpie Lark. Such a striking looking bird, almost reminds me of cow spots the way the feathers are colored. All of these pictures are amazing of each and every one of the species of wildlife you were able to capture.
