| Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata, Karratha, WA, Australia). Successfully framed inside the mesh fence (and cropped). |
At the prompting of Alan, here is a list of the birds that I am looking for at the moment. I have included some species that are possible if I go to site with my new job.
- Freckled Duck (Stictonetta naevosa);
- Chestnut Teal (Anas castanea), I'm still checking all the Grey Teals I see;
- Royal Spoonbill (Platalea regia), beginning to think these are fictitious;
- Terek Sandpiper (Xenus cinereus);
- Bridled Tern (Onychoprion anaethetus);
- Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii);
- Mulga Parrot (Psephotus varius);
- Shining Bronze-Cuckoo (Chalcites lucidus), not sure how I've managed to avoid this one;
- Southern Emu-wren (Stipiturus malachurus);
- Redthroat (Pyrrholaemus brunneus);
- Gilbert's Whistler (Pachycephala inornata);
- Little Grassbird (Megalurus gramineus), a somewhat embarrassing hole in my list;
- Red-browed Finch (Neochmia temporalis), got to go check out that feral population in the hills...

Come on Greg, there is no excuse for not seeing those Red-browed Finches. Ten minutes drive, with a coffee at the end of the successful twitch!
Can't have Alan being the only one commenting.....
You could probably add Chestnut Quail-thrush as a decent chance if you go out to site. Chance of other things too like Black-eared Cuckoo
